This 24-inch all-in-one runs on Apple's M3 chip and keeps its port selection deliberately minimal — every data port is USB-C, and there's no HDMI. The four-port model offers two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports (40 Gb/s, video-capable) plus two USB 3 ports (10 Gb/s, data only); the two-port model drops the USB 3 pair. Gigabit Ethernet, when fitted, lives on the power adapter rather than the screen, connected by the magnetic round power cable. A 3.5mm headphone jack sits on the left edge.
Apple’s 24-inch M3 all-in-one with two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, two USB-C data ports (four-port model), a headphone jack, and Ethernet on the power brick.

Notes & Compatibility
Connectivity is USB-C only — no HDMI. Two-port model has just the two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports; four-port model adds two USB 3 (10 Gb/s, data only) ports. Gigabit Ethernet is built into the power adapter, not the display. The iMac connects to power via a proprietary magnetic round connector (not modeled). Base M3 ports are Thunderbolt/USB 4 (40 Gb/s), not TB4-certified.
