Why does Apple now say a 2014 Mini can drive 4k at 60hz?

Support page updated 26 APR 16:


https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202856


Page terms as of this morning:


With OS X Yosemite v10.10.3 and later, most single-stream 4K (3840x2160) displays are supported at 60Hz operation on the following Mac computers:

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
  • Mac Pro (Late 2013)
  • iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) and later

Must've been a mistake - as of this morning 12 MAY 16, they removed the Mini from the 60hz list again :-/

Yep, it now says the Mac mini 2014 can do 4K at the top (without listing a speed) but no longer lists it under 60Hz. So one can presume it is once again only able to officially do 24fps and 30fps. (Unofficially I believe with SwitchResX it might do just under 50fps which for all intents and purposes is a complete waste of time.)
