> In [the place of SCSI, ADB, and serial] was a new connection standard that had been introduced on the PC side, but not yet embraced: the Universal Serial Bus, or USB. To be fair, while Apple killed off three ports that had defined the Mac for more than a decade, it replaced them with a standard that’s still kicking more than two decades later. (Marvel for a moment about the fact that I can take an original iMac keyboard and plug it into an M1 Mac Mini and… it’ll just work!) Typing this from an M1 MacBook Air, I had to laugh and do a double take that they had to specify an M1 Mac Mini, since it's the only one with a USB type-A port :) But yeah, the longevity of USB-A is amazing.
