Mac Mini appeals predominantly to two distinct age groups -- the young and the elderly

Elderly, why you whippersnapper, I ain’t elderly. Seasoned maybe, I’d give you well worn, but I ‘taint elderly dadgummit.

The Mac mini has found a market among developers, media producers, and small business owners needing a reliable, customizable, compact desktop solution

OK that’s more like it. All kidding aside I got an M2Pro MM last year to replace my very aged iMac. It was cost effective and drives my dual 4K monitors very comfortably. I use it mostly for work to remote into our office systems. On the side I’ve been doing art and making audio recordings. It was less expensive than a similarly equipped iMac, and I don’t have the annoyance of mismatched monitors. It’s a damn powerful system that will serve me for a long time.

Nice. But, and I know this will be ‘heresy’ to many, I worry how having a case on will affect all Capture Button functions. I’m one of those rare few (i.e., clumsy) that need a case on my phone 

That’s a very good point. I always keep my phone in a case too, and for the same reason. It’ll be interesting to see how the manufacturers deal with this.

EDIT: I am going to add one thing. If they were going to bump one of the cameras to 48mpxl I do wish it was the 5x camera.

Like Daalseth wrote, it is pretty annoying there’s nothing between 200 GB and 2 TB (I got the 200 GB package but would definitely be interested in 500 or close to that) If anyone has a great option to move please share. Thanks.

There actually is one way around that gap if you are subscribed to Apple One (Family or Individual Plan, doesn't matter),

That’s a non starter for me. I have no interest in the services in AppleOne, other than iCloud of course.

Just imagine how much more they could bring in if they had an iCloud tier between 200GB and 2TB. Say 750GB for half the price of  2TB

Good For Them
