Apple explains why the Mac Mini power button is hidden underneath (www.theshortcut.com)

🤔 Apple has shared why the power button on the Mac Mini M4 is hidden

🤏 It’s mainly because of the Mac Mini’s compact size

🤷‍♂️ But also because users apparently never use the power button on a Mac

👉 Apple also says the button can be accessed easily, even though it’s underneath

Or the most obvious answer of all: Macs have a power button on the keyboard

Such a stupid thing to write about. Must be a really slow news day if they are writing about the location of the power button.

Mac Mini doesn’t come with a keyboard. So unless you’ve owned an iMac or bought a keyboard separately, you won’t have that convenience.

That being said, I haven’t touched the power button on my Mac Mini since I got mine on the 8th.

Or some people like me prefer ergonomic keyboards and don’t use these miniature overpriced Apple keyboards.

As someone in IT, I loathe non-standard the fuck is the power button designs.
