Looking at the product itself, it looks like it barely squeezes the mini-HDMI externally as is, let alone then PCB/internal available space.

I don't think there is, in fact, room for a full HDMI port. Mini HDMI is a compromise, and everyone knows it. It wouldn't have been included if full size HDMI was feasible.

The formfactor is self-imposed though, they could have made the device a few mm wider to accommodate a full HDMI port, but then it wouldn't be nice and square. Form over function maybe.

The form factor is based on the Apple Watch screen they use, clearly.

Mini-HDMI is fine for this use though and can just move with the item so it's not like you need to buy many.
