Okay… So not only is the USB-C port not vertically center aligned with the iPad mini (A20) chassis (just like iPhone Air), but its Smart Folio’s folding hinge is also not properly aligned with the USB port itself.
This is not the Apple I used to know.
A very personal opinion:
The PROLED MacBook Pro with touchscreen might be a soft landing gesture for Apple to introduce a tablet that runs macOS in the future.
Put it another way: merging iPadOS and macOS.
