Mac Mini with 4 GB of RAM is definitely enough to develop iPhone apps.

The newest Mac Mini is already using NVIDIA graphics processor, Intel
Core 2 Duo, and up to 320 GB HDD.

You might need better Macs, if you're planning to build complex
software like computer simulation with heavy graphics processing or
hardcore games.
