> At my current place of work, we have a rack of Mac mini’s in a closet as our build server for the iOS app.

One of the main selling points that Apple uses to sell Mac minis is their use in build farms and render farms.

If you click on Apple's page on Mac minis and scroll down until the 6th or 7th selling point, you'll end up seeing the part where according to Apple it's combination of stackable form factor and performant hardware makes it ideal to compile large xcode projects or perform video encoding.



I wonder if Apple is building their OS and Apps on Apple hardware or if they have real servers in their data center.
