LIKE MODERN MACBOOKS, ports on the latest generation iMac have gone the way of the dodo. Instead of a plethora of connections — think USB–A, SD, and Ethernet — the entry–level iMac 24–inch (M1, 2021) has just 2x Thunderbolt/ USB–4 ports, while the upgrade model has an additional 2x USB–3 ports and Gigabit Ethernet (located on the power adapter).
If you want to bring back those legacy ports to your modern iMac, then you’ll need a hub. The hubs here are specifically designed to work with the latest iMac — they’re each made to integrate neatly with the iMac, allowing you to keep your desk space clean and uncluttered.
