New Mac Mini Packaging Spy Shot


Earlier today, we received a product photo of what is claimed to be the new Mac Mini. Without another source, we published it on Page 2 and called it a likely fake.

OneMoreThing.nl, however, has received the same image and feels it's likely to be real. While some thought it was strange for Apple to feature the back of the Mini on the packaging, it follows the same format as the back of their current Mac mini retail box (Photo of back of current box).

Meanwhile, the logo depicted in the photograph represents the NVIDIA chipset:


This would be consistent with rumors, circulating spy shots and expectations of an imminent Mac mini update. Previous reports from Kodawarisan have predicted updates as early as Tuesday.

We can only hope. The 9400M G is godly compared to what Intel ships. Thank god Apple is using it.

Yup. It'll be a relief when it's out just for the rumours to stop.

Finally, a new Mac mini! I wonder if the pricing will be the same or whether Apple can lower it?!

Edit: This product shot probably means that it will be announced tomorrow.

Who can identify the ports, left to right (well, other than the 5 USB)?

If the new products release tomorrow I'm going to go to an apple store and start rubbing them on my flesh.

Then when they ask what you're doing I'll respond "Becoming".

Cool. Hopefully this means soon so people will stop b*tching about the lack of updates.

I still find it hard to believe that it will have both Mini-Displayport AND Mini-DVI...

Fake. It actually shows the Mac Mini. The old box is merely a photo/drawing.

Also, if Apple wants to reduce product packaging footprint, this box does not help that venue at all.
