Tim Cook has made his decision and expressed his desire in the corporate succession plan. If the need ever arises, Apple will be in good hands. Note: It was a short, holiday week without a lot of.

Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple and serves on its board of directors.

Before being named CEO in August 2011, Tim was Apple’s chief operating officer and was responsible for all of the company’s worldwide sales and operations, including end-to-end management of Apple’s supply chain, sales activities, and service and support in all markets and countries. He also headed Apple’s Macintosh division and played a key role in the continued development of strategic reseller and supplier relationships, ensuring flexibility in response to an increasingly demanding marketplace.

Prior to joining Apple, Tim was vice president of Corporate Materials for Compaq and was responsible for procuring and managing all of Compaq’s product inventory.

Previous to his work at Compaq, Tim was the chief operating officer of the Reseller Division at Intelligent Electronics.

Tim also spent 12 years with IBM, most recently as director of North American Fulfillment where he led manufacturing and distribution functions for IBM’s Personal Computer Company in North and Latin America.

Tim earned an MBA from Duke University, where he was a Fuqua Scholar, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering from Auburn University.

If you hadn't noticed, Apple is increasingly focusing on mobile devices in recent years. The iPhone, iPad, and MacBook range continue to receive regular updates. On the desktop side, development moves at a much slower pace, and as such, it has a few Apple customers questioning whether the Mac mini is now a dead product line?

It's a question well worth asking when you consider the last time the Mac mini's internals were updated was back in 2014. If you purchase a Mac mini today, it will still ship with a Haswell Core i5 or Core i7 processor inside, up to 16GB of DDR3 RAM, Intel HD 5000 graphics, and a hard drive or Fusion Drive remain options.

Yes, in computing terms the Mac mini is most definitely old, but it's not dead. As MacRumors reports, Tim Cook confirmed as much in a response to a letter yesterday from Mac mini fan Krar who asked if the tiny Mac was going to get an update soon. Cook responded by saying that 'while it is not time to share any details, we do plan for the Mac mini to be an important part of our product line going forward.'

Although short on details, what we can ascertain from Cook's response is that the Mac mini will certainly be getting a refresh, but it isn't happening soon. Apple's desktop PC focus is going to be elsewhere for the next few months at least. Remember, the iMac Pro is set to launch in December and then Apple is planning a major Mac Pro refresh next year.

So the Mac mini will be refreshed, but it seems likely that won't happen until after the new Mac Pro launches. I wouldn't be surprised to be kept waiting until the second half of 2018 for fresh Mac mini news.
