https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-ipad-pro-macbook-air-event-what-we-didnt-get/ > When Apple showed off the new Mac Mini, it seemed to understand that the little computer's role has changed over time. It used to be the low-cost model that would get people to switch from PCs to Macs. That's no longer the case. Phones are people's computers now and that's where Apple spends the most time and effort. The Mac Mini got a price increase with a starting price of $799 (£799, AU$1,249), with mentions about pro users aplenty during the presentation.  > However, the Mini was the only desktop that got a revision this time -- an expected spec update for iMacs never materialized, for instance -- and many of them are still using spinning hard drives in their base configurations.
