With all the excitement towards the iPad mini launch next, it’s easy to forget Apple makes other products. The products in question is the all in one desktop called iMac and the small form factor PC called the Mac mini. Though not quite the best sellers as the MacBook, they do form an important part of Apple’s arsenal. iMac and Mac mini updates are a near certainty for next week
Reports are coming in about the pricing on these products. According to 9to5Mac both the iMac and Mac mini will retain their current price. $599, $799, and $999 for the two standard models and single server model for the Mac mini and $1199, $1499, $1699, and $1999 for the iMac. Apple is also reported to offer a 8GB RAM module for the Mac mini and iMac for the first time. Previously it was only 4GB. This means the Mac mini can be upgraded to 16GB and iMac to 32GB of RAM.
Nothing else is known about the iMac and Mac mini updates. There are isolated reports about a possibility of a Retina Display on the iMac but so far it seems unlikely due to costs and availability. We will find out more on the 23rd when Apple gives out the official details.
