Take a tour of iMac
The 24-inch iMac is more personal, more powerful, and more capable than ever. It has the following features built in:
Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports: Transfer data at Thunderbolt speeds (up to 40 Gbit/s) and charge devices such as a rechargeable mouse, keyboard, or iPhone. Connect Thunderbolt devices and up to two external 6K displays, like the Apple Pro Display XDR.
Note: Four-port models have Thunderbolt 4, which can support up to two external 6K displays. Two-port models with Thunderbolt / USB 4 can support up to one external 6K display.
These ports also support Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB 3.2 and earlier, so you can connect external storage devices, web cameras, audio devices, and more. You can also use an adapter for USB devices with other types of connectors.

Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45): The 24-inch iMac with four ports includes a power adapter with built-in Ethernet. The 24-inch iMac with two ports comes standard with a power adapter without built-in Ethernet, but can be configured with Ethernet at the time of purchase. If you didn’t upgrade to Ethernet at the time of purchase, a USB to Ethernet adapter may be required. To use Ethernet, connect a router or modem to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the power adapter.
3.5 mm headphone jack: Plug in stereo headphones or external speakers.
Display: The 4.5K Retina display supports 1 billion colors and can sustain 500 nits of brightness. True Tone technology adjusts the color and intensity of your display to match the light in your environment for a more natural viewing experience.
The iMac with four ports is available with nano-texture glass, which scatters light in work spaces with challenging lighting conditions.
