Apple could completely ditch Qualcomm's 5G modems by 2027
Apple is really getting rid of many third party components. Remember the initial CPU which was Samsung ARM? Gone. Apple designs them and makes them. Remember the GPU by PowerVR? Gone. Apple makes it. Remember Intel? Gone. Apple Silicon. Now, we're seeing that with 5G modem.
But at the same time, I can see why Apple's fed up with those competitors trying to capitalize on Apple's success with outrageous fees.
Qualcomm seems to be in the losing game in the long run by refusing to cooperate with an important client.

Upcoming M4-based Mac mini rumored to replace USB-A with more USB-C ports
That is SO long overdue!
We don't need USB-A anymore. I don't buy anything that has USB-A. I always look for USB-C. If it uses USB-A, I don't buy it. It's simple. USB-C is designed to be future proof and will work for many devices for many many decades ahead, not like USA-A because of power delivery more so than data. A lot of devices don't require much power and USB-C is dynamic with power negotiations, ending the need for AC/AD adaptors.
Also, with USB4, there is plenty of room for high bandwidth data in the future. It's likely that optical fibers will be used in addition to copper cable. I can easily imagine how they just add optical fibers between copper connectors.
USB-C is incredibly user friendly. No more fiddling to orient. USB-C works every time you plug in.
If you have old USB-A devices, they can easily be retrofitted with USB-C adaptor. -
