Apple will do away with USB-A ports in the new Mac mini - Mark Gurman

The next-generation Mac mini will do away with USB-A ports. This was reported by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.

Apple customers are already accustomed to the traditional rectangular USB-A ports being replaced by their slimmer counterparts, USB-C. While USB-C offers several advantages, this transition can sometimes confuse users and necessitate the search for adapters.

It has been noted that the Mac mini's design has not undergone significant changes since 2010. However, Gurman states that this will change this fall. The refreshed Mac mini models will be the smallest in the lineup's history and will feature the new Apple M4 processor. They will also include five USB-C ports, an Ethernet port, an HDMI port, and a headphone jack. But the USB-A ports will be gone.

Apple has scheduled the Glowtime event for September 9, where the company is expected to announce the new iPhone 16 lineup. However, the new Mac lineup may only be unveiled later in the fall.
