Apple insider are already framing this as not a design flaw but an advantage somehow

Yeah… I used to sell Apple gear.
When Apple announced the Mighty mouse 20 years ago, everyone was super excited. There wasn’t much info, and we were almost wondering if it was a touch sensitive button on it.
What we got though was a mouse which gave you RSI any time you clicked the right button.
Now, I have a Mac Studio. Every PC has the power button on the top or front. This guy? Nah, lets put it on the back! And the M2 is a professional machine, so lets ship with 8GB ram only… And MAKE IT SHARED VIDEO MEMORY!

it opens up a whole new surface for things. Soon there will be a dozen USB C ports on the bottom and you’ll need to buy special apple right angle cables to access them that they charge $30 per 1m cable.

The have active electronics in them so that if any non-apple right angle connectors are used it limits them to usb 1.0 speeds and 5v 0.5A power delivery. It’s for your safety.

That new surface is very risky, and if you don’t use the right connector it might catch the whole mini on fire!
