I just bought a 2020 Mac mini from apple. Under about this Mac, System Report, its says its a Macmini8,1. That's a 2018 Mac mini. Whats going on?
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
What people are "seeing" is the "new" when selecting Mac on the home page:
and on the purchase page:
and because of it people posting are calling it and assuming
it is a 2020 model even though the only thing that changes
was the base SSD installed.
Yes. I know. What's your point? Apple tends to update consumer models like iMacs or notebooks every year. Other models can go years between updates. Maybe they should buy a 2017 iMac Pro instead.
Yes, I know that.
What "new model"? If there is one thing Apple hardly ever does, it is pre-announce new models. You want to wait until your purchase won't be obsolete in a few months? You'll be waiting forever.
In the last software update, Apple changed what it says under the system settings menu General, About. It no longer says that it is a Macmini8,1 or 2018 model.
Not true, sorry.
Hi, i have the same problem. Have they changed yours and it says early 2020 model in the General? Thanks in advance!
2020 Mac mini says its a 2018 Mac mini
