Mac Mini 2014 release date is reportedly on December of 2015, according to multiple online reports. As reported by Christian Post's Cross Map, Apple has reportedly revealed the aforementioned date as the confirmed Mac Mini 2014 release date, as cited by Cyberland.
Despite the reports of the said news outlets, the rumors surrounding the official Mac Mini 2014 release date are still a bit sketchy.
For people who have known Apple for a long time, the company does not usually confirm any leads or rumors about any of its devices, which includes the highly anticipated next-generation Mac Mini 2014 release date.
If the rumored Mac Mini 2014 release date by December of 2015 is true, then it will be two full years from the time that Apple first updated the Mac Mini. Apple last refreshed this particular device back in 2012. Because of the update, the new Mac Mini was promoted with a 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel i5 processor with 4GB of RAM and 500 GB worth of storage space.
The initial Mac Mini 2014 release date was actually reported to be by mid-2014. This speculation surfaced after an Apple document indicated that a mid-2014 refreshed Mac Mini was leaked on the Internet. According to the rumors, the Mac Mini 2014 could ditch the present Ivy Bridge-integrated chips in exchange for Haswell processors that are Iris-integrated.
The new Mac Mini 2014 release date could showcase a new device with OS X Yosemite, particularly since Apple usually ships out their new devices with the latest OS version that is currently available. According to IT Pro, the new Mac OS will most likely feature Continuity, HandOff, MailDrop, and AirDrop.
Plus, the new Mac Mini 2014 might also be much smaller as compared to its current counterpart, as suggested by Air Herald. The current-generation one weighs 2.7 pounds and measures 7.7 inches by 7.7 inches, and is 1.4 inches tall. Now, if it is, indeed, true that Apple will be making a smaller device for the much-awaited Mac Mini 2014, it still remains unclear if a reduction in the height or surface area will be considered a priority.
