    No. The only Minis with Iris graphics are the 2014 Minis and all 2014 Minis have their RAM soldered in place and it is thus not upgradeable.

    Depending on where you are the model number of certain Mac products may

    vary, in so much as the India online Apple Store shows an order number that

    is different than the US online Apple store. The US Store models also will be

    shipping with macOS Sierra.

     

    The Iris graphics are available, and on the order page you can choose to buy

    the pre-made model with more memory; as those are manufactured to suit.

    Configure your Mac mini with these options, only at the Apple Online Store.

    {This linked page shows El Capitan as the macOS; main site says macOS Sierra.}

     

    {The various configurations in most recent or expected production order model

    versions may not be available in certain market areas, regions, or countries; &

    some authorized resellers may be slower than others to get latest inventories.}

     

    Searches get different results, some defer to 'other order model number' mac minis;

    so the number you are looking for may appear in older inventory or in other regions.

     

    Examples of similar results; other sales order numbers appear elsewhere:

    Older generation builds may use additional reference identifiers.

    So you could place a custom order at Official online Apple store -- depending on region

    your product may or may not vary from the above images copy+pasted from US Apple.

    The most recent will ship with macOS Sierra, per specification details on their site.

    You may need to call an official Apple store and talk to a product expert in Sales.

    The above specs may be closely affiliated with the model released in October 2014.

     

    Good luck & happy computing!
