I’ve been using my base model Mini M4 for over a month.  I’ve successfully attached various external SSD and HDDs to the rear ports without issue.  I currently have an Asus Zenscreen, an Acasis 2.5 dual drive enclosure loaded with two HDD, and an Orico M.2 2TB SSD directly connected to the rear ports.  The Zenscreen and Acasis are both drawing power from the M4, with no issues.  I’m using a USB C hub attached to the front ports for SD card and USB A devices eg, Logitech dongle.  I’ve successfully used both front ports for various connections including Satechi keyboard, adapters, game controllers, card readers.  Fingers crossed the ports will continue to function on this tiny beast.

Lol!  Buffett is a “rookie”?  I don’t think so, just wait and see. He plays the long game and has influence far beyond one quarter’s results. Remember, he is the only financier to prise some shared ownership out of the Mars corporation in nearly 100 years.
This softening of iPhone sales is the consequence of two things.
1. Electing a dumb jerk as president. Trump knows nothing about running an economy and his days are numbered. His policies are unwinding into the negative economic effects they always would be.
2. A significant downturn in Global demand due to pessimism about the economies of major established and developing markets. If you have liquid capital this may be a very good time to pick up AAPL alongside Buffett.

Fatman has nailed it. It is nothing about the facts. It is simply people abusing their privileged media position to manipulate stock prices. Their scaremongering influences ignorant fund managers and individuals to sell Apple stock in anxiety that product sales are poor, resulting in lower stock prices which others - perhaps backers of the lying media analyst - buy.
Then, when the facts are revealed, record sales, healthy growth, good profits, Bingo!  They sell the stock in a rising market and make a big persoonal gain.
The only way to punish them is to stop reading their garbage and cancel subscriptions to their media.  And fill their social media with deserved criticism.  If you lost money on stock - sue them for deceit.
If you want to know the health of Apple checkout the activity in stores, see the phones your friends and family are buying.
