Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, who is well known for his Apple-related leaks, reported in September 2024 that the new Mac mini will have five USB-C ports, and the description discovered this time matches this. According to Gurman, the new Mac mini will have two USB-C ports on the front and three on the back, with at least one of the five USB-C ports being Thunderbolt 4 compatible.
