For a refresh, the 2012 model was powered by Intel s Ivy Bridge processors. The device s compactness and mobility was one of the reasons why the device turned out to be popular with servers. However, since then Apple hasn t upgraded the device. The rumor mill has also been pretty quiet for the Mac Mini. In mid-2014, a support page on Apple s website did accidentally mention of a new Mac Mini, but that was shortly pulled.
Apple is also expected to launch iPad Air 2, and rollout OS X Yosemite to the public at its October event.
