It might make sense to assign the Mac to a dedicated team at the top executive level who’s only responsibility is to grow and update the Mac line. Except for MacBook Pro and the iMac, which seem to get some sort of periodic updates, the Mac mini and Mac Pro don’t get enough attention. The Mac mini hasn’t seen any updates since the latest update was launched in 2018. We’ll have to see how the brand new Mac Pro fares in the next two years to get a sense of Apple’s commitment to its entire Mac lineup.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoI'm not sure that is a huge problem for the Mac Mini, it was released in late 2018 so we are only at about 18 months now. We are long past the stage where every new operating system version demanded new hardware.
- lostlogin 7y agoNew hardware would be great, particularly in the Mini. It has more CPU than anything else that size that I can find and with an internal power supply. The lack of compelling upgrades made by Intel seems to be the main problem. The Hades Canyon Nucs come close, but are larger, have a power brick and are not my taste in design. But the 2x nic, graphics, storage options and price are compelling. Bring on ARM.
- amdavidson 7y agoI don't see where you're making the case that they need to update. They're better than anything you can find in the bracket that you place them in. Sure, everything can always be better but I don't see much market pressure forcing it.
