Over at Daring Fireball, the well-informed John Gruber suggests that we might see a new 27-inch, 16:9 cinema display tomorrow, perhaps in concert with faster iMacs and refreshed Mac Pros. Update: And perhaps, even more tantalisingly, with Apple’s elusive Magic Trackpad?
The Mac Pro is currently “unavailable” both at the Apple Store and many physical retail locations around the US. While the news is by no means a confirmation that an update is near, the stars are certainly aligning.
When Apple quietly introduced the Unibody Mac Mini, many people wondered if it was the perfect HTPC. Considering that it packs a HDMI-port (a first for Apple) and is housed in a sleek design, it just may be.
You were crying out for a new Mac Mini, and thankfully Apple delivered – with way more than we were expecting. A new aluminium casing, plus HDMI port and SD card slot, the price starts at $US699.
A HDMI port has been rumoured to be replacing the DVI port on the Mac Mini for some time now, but AppleInsider is reporting they’ve heard from four different sources claiming recent shortages are getting closer to a release date.
