As fans await update for 3-year-old Mac mini, Apple classifies mid-2011 models 'obsolete'
Apple's problem with the mini is they no longer have a single machine that can be used as a cheap and reliable server, be it for a small business or a bigger setup. Even the latest releases of macOS Server points to abandonware.
It is time Apple advice their users what they recommend for running applications that a) don't need much graphics performance or requires the machine to be as thin and power lean as possible, and b) cannot be deployed to the cloud for multiple reasons; one being legal requirements.
It would be extremely interesting to have Mr. Cook stand up at their next WWDC talk about how the backends for their clients should be served.
