Apple to bid adieu to USB-A ports on upcoming M4-powered Mac mini: Report

Apple’s Mac mini is the last of its kind to feature a USB-A port, which will soon disappear in favour of USB-C ports, suggests a Bloomberg report. The report further hints at a revamped design, making it the slimmest Mac mini.

It has been a while since Apple updated the industrial design of the Mac mini, which is currently Apple’s cheapest Mac. The next iteration of the Mac mini, expected to launch in October 2024, is reported to include five USB-C ports, a full-sized HDMI port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and an ethernet port. We could also see a similar development with the upcoming Mac Pro and Mac Studio variants, which might also lose USB-A ports in favour of more USB-C ports.
