Apple to do away with USB-A ports on upcoming M4-powered Mac mini

USB-A ports will soon disappear in Apple Mac Mini and will make way for USB-C ports. Reports also hint at a revamped design, making it the slimmest Mac mini. Currently Apple’s cheapest Mac, it has been a while since Apple updated the industrial design of the Mac mini.

 

The next iteration of the Mac mini, which is scheduled to launch in October 2024, is reported to include five USB-C ports. It will also house a full-sized HDMI port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and an ethernet port. Similar developments might also come with the upcoming Mac Pro and Mac Studio variants, which might also lose USB-A ports in favour of more USB-C ports.

 

In another report, Bloomberg hints at a thinner design, which might have a form factor similar to the current Apple TV 4K, indicating it will be significantly more compact than its predecessor. Despite its shrunk factor, it will be one of the most capable Macs, thanks to the Apple Silicon M4 chip.

 

The upcoming Mac mini M4 is also said to pack an internal power supply and be available in at least two variants - the base model powered by the M4 chip and the high-end model based on the M4 Pro chip.

 

Both models are said to offer at least 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage.
