Is it time to say goodbye to USB-A?

      Meh. Dongles on portables is bigger pain in the ass. And Apple doesn’t have any USB-A on their current portable line.

      At least with a desktop space isn’t a concern, and adapters from A to C are tiny.

      Or you can add a card.

      Unlike on a laptop.

        This is a Mac Mini, you can’t add or upgrade shit. Can’t upgrade RAM, can’t change storage and you certainly can’t “add a card” as all those things go against the “Apple Vision” after all.

        Frankly, I don’t consider a Mac Mini to be a desktop at all without any of those abilities

          I mean I need a hub for my Mac mini and it had USB A ports. I’d personally much rather them give me more multi function USB C and just get a different hub than have half the ports be single function USB A

    Great idea. Many Mac Mini users are entry level users and it’s quite lovely that their existing peripherals may not work if they upgrade. Let’s keep the Form over Function bandwagon in high gear.
