The forthcoming M4 Mac mini redesign is expected to follow iMac’s lead and ditch USB-A ports, in favor of an array of USB-C ports.
The current Mac mini form factor may change dramatically in its M4 incarnation.

A new report from Bloomberg follows up on earlier claims of a major redesign of the Mac mini, taking cues from the larger Mac Studio but in a notably smaller form factor. The M4 and M4 Pro-based form factor will allegedly be not much larger than the current Apple TV hardware, but taller.
The unit will feature three of the USB-C ports on the back, with two USB-C ports accessible on the front of the machine, as with the Mac Studio. The redesign will also offer HDMI and Ethernet ports, along with a headphone jack.
