Apple customers are return customers, regardless of how badly they are treated.

I don't know why you are downvoted, because this is just true.

I can't think of a single other manufacturer that would sell me a small form factor computer with 4 or 5 Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports.

Oh. That's why.


in case anyone doesn't get it: Apple's laptops and phones infamously lack all sorts of ports, the macbook "pro" m1 only has two USB-C ports and that's it

Ok, so what are the other options? The entry level Mac mini has three Thunderbolt plus two other usb-c ports and some other stuff. I fail to see how phones are relevant.

Note how I didn't reference any of those for ports.

I said that the small factor computer has more USB4 ports than any other, which the Mac Mini does. I also see people downvoted, but couldn't provide a single alternative.
