Apple’s M4 Mac Mini Set for a Bold Redesign: Say Goodbye to USB-A Ports
Apple Mac Mini is known to be an energy-efficient, powerful, convenient, and versatile device that is 7.75 inches wide and 1.14 inches tall. This user-friendly device is ideal for performing various tasks such as browsing, emailing, video editing, gaming, automating home devices, cloud computing, and much more. It’s been over 10 years that Mac Mini hasn’t gone under any change in terms of its design. However, technology journalist Mark Gurman who works for Bloomberg recently shared that Mac Mini might undergo some major changes. He shed light on it by saying that in the upcoming bold version of, the M-4 Mac Mini, USB-A ports might be removed and new ports in front of the computer will be added.
A month before Gurman excited Apple fans by dropping the news that the ever smallest, fastest and even strongest Mac Mini is set to be launched. But exactly how it would turn out remains a mystery. The latest news shared by Gurman satisfied this curiosity by letting Mac Mini users know that two USB-A ports will soon be removed to make it even more compact. However, many users may find it inconvenient because input devices are connected to computers via USB-A ports.

This higher-end version is worth the splurge with three USB-C ports at the back and two at the front! Gurman revealed that this high-end version is quite similar to Mac Studio.
This might come as a surprise but Gurman hinted that apart from working on the M4 Mac Mini, Apple is coming with a stronger version of the iPad magic keyboard. If you can remember the one that came out in May, you’ll get to know what I am talking about. How is it different from the previous one?
