In order to make the Mac Mini even smaller, reports suggested that Apple was going to remove USB-A ports completely from the tiny desktop. Apple will instead include 5 USB-C ports, which is likely what the "5 Port" mentioned in that code is referencing.

With one last Apple event of the year in either October or possibly November being heavily rumored, a new Mac Mini seems overwhelmingly likely to be part of the new crop of M4 Macs expected in 2024.
