Apple’s online store isn’t showing any shipping delays for the Mac mini, but the rumor mill is still reporting that Apple’s diminutive desktop Mac is getting harder to come by, and that’s because it’s about to get updated.
According to AppleInsider’s unnamed sources, the alleged update for the Mac mini will also include “some new I/O technology.”
Apparently resellers are running low or are completely out of Mac minis and haven’t been able to get new inventory from Apple. If true, that could mean Apple is planning on releasing new models because the company has a track record of clearing out old inventory ahead of new product launches.
Since Apple is tight-lipped about its product updates, there’s no official word from the company on whether or not new Mac mini models are on the way.
