Apple's Mac Mini might soon become the latest device to receive a complete USB-C makeover, according to recent reports. The company has already adopted USB-C for iPads, iPhones, and several Mac models, and the Mac Mini is poised to follow suit, potentially debuting with this upgrade around October or November. The upcoming 2024 version could eliminate all USB-A ports, replacing them with USB-C ports for improved connectivity.
What's New with the 2024 Mac Mini
The new Mac Mini is expected to feature Apple's cutting-edge M4 processor, first introduced with the 2024 iPad Pro. If USB-C integration is confirmed, it will mark a significant shift from the traditional USB ports. The updated model will likely include three USB-C ports on the rear and two on the front.
Rumors suggest that the 2024 Mac Mini will be Apple's most compact model yet, but still powerful enough to handle demanding applications and advanced AI features. It may also come with a sleek aluminum design, making it lighter than previous versions.
In addition to the Mac Mini, Apple is anticipated to unveil new M4-powered MacBook Pro and iMac models. The company is expected to host a launch event for these products in October, which aligns with its usual timeline for end-of-year announcements. Meanwhile, excitement is building for the iPhone 16 series, set to be revealed at the Glowtime event on Monday, September 10, and streamed live on Apple’s Events page and YouTube channel.
