Apple Acknowledges Mac Mini Update?
The fate of the Mac Mini remains a hot topic with conflicting reports about the fate of the Mac mini. While early reports have suggested the Mini will be discontinued, others have claimed that there will be at least one more update.
Some possible hope for those waiting for a Mini update comes from an unlikely source. One concerned customer reportedly received a response from Apple after firing off a concerned email about the fate of the Mac Mini to Apple's Mac hardware engineering chief:

I got a prompt reply by phone from an Apple executive care person essentially giving me no new information but assuring me that Apple knew the mini was a popular machine and to be patient
Given Apple's statement that there are no plans for new products before the holiday season, the next opportunity for Apple to introduce a new Mac Mini is Macworld San Francisco which takes place between January 5-9th, 2009.Top Rated Comments

look forward to see what they have up their sleeves...maybe the apple tv/mac mini combo many would really like to see. Otherwise i think the mini could be a great machine once again if it were given the right specs and price!

Great! I'm happy to see the Mac Mini stick around a bit longer. It just needs a refresh... Possible Black plastic on the top much like the new iMac.

i can be patient, as long as it isn't for long periods of time. but another few months is just fine. I am jsut glad that Apple is aware that the mini is a popular product and people want new ones. until then, i will wait.

I'm starting to doubt all these email replies.
But you never know. I hope the Mac Mini is continued and updated at MWSF '09.

This is a fantastic piece of non-news! Someone reportedly got a call (so it's not documented) from a tech who told them to wait. It's like money in the bank. :rolleyes:

Last April I was waiting for a Mini update. I'm glad I gave up in the end, and got an iMac. Which of course, is exactly what Apple want people to do.
Now that almost everyone has given up, they can start the whole cycle again.

Definatley still a strong market for the mini! Great little machine, just needs a specs boost and it'll be a strong seller again.
