The high-end iMac's ports are all Thunderbolt 4

Apple released new iMac models today, and while there are few external changes other than some color tweaks, Apple has made several internal updates to the machine. The inclusion of the next-gen M4 chip is the biggest update, but the ports have also seen improvements.

Imac Thunderbolt 4 ports
On the M4 ‌iMac‌ models with 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, all four USB-C ports support Thunderbolt 4 transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps. The previous generation M3 ‌iMac‌ with four ports had two Thunderbolt 3 ports and two USB 3 ports.

The 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU models only have two ports, but both are Thunderbolt 4. All USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports also support USB 4 and USB 3.1 Gen 2.

Pricing for the “iMac” starts at $1,299 for the 8-core CPU/GPU version, while the 10-core CPU/GPU four-port models start at $1,499. Apple is accepting pre-orders for the new M4 “iMac” models starting today.
