|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | usb-c-3USB-C port, up to 10Gb/s, for peripherals/storage/networking; power delivery wattage not stated. Apple's photo shows two plain USB-C ports at the left of the four; it does not say which is which, so this one is ranked first and usb-c-4 second by choice. | USB-C | USB | Both ways | Rear |
| 2 | usb-c-4Second USB-C port, up to 10Gb/s (same spec text as usb-c-3, Apple does not distinguish the two individually). Second of the two plain USB-C ports from the left in Apple's back-view photo. | USB-C | USB | Both ways | Rear |
| 3 | usb-c-2Downstream Thunderbolt 5 port, for accessories or daisy-chaining additional displays; charging wattage to downstream devices not stated. | USB-C | USB, video | Both ways | Rear |
| 4 | usb-c-1Upstream/host Thunderbolt 5 port (up to 120Gb/s); delivers up to 96W host charging to the connected Mac. Rightmost port in Apple's back-view photo, the one marked with a dot, which Apple's spec text ties to the upstream port. | USB-C | USB, video, power | Both ways | Rear |

Space types that use it
82 units in 35 spaces at 9 officesNotes
- Apple lists compatibility with Mac and iPad only.
- The upstream Thunderbolt 5 port charges the laptop at up to 96 W.
- No network port: a wired connection needs an adapter or dock.
- Size is the display with the VESA mount adapter; the stand versions are taller and deeper.
What the manufacturer doesn't say
- No power draw published.
- Apple documents no power socket, only the mains voltage.
- Apple's back-view photo does not say which of the two plain USB-C ports is usb-c-3 and which is usb-c-4, since Apple gives them the same description; their ranks (1 and 2) are a choice, not a fact.
- Apple's photo shows the port order but no labels, so the downstream Thunderbolt 5 port (usb-c-2, third from the left) is placed because it is the only Thunderbolt 5 port that is not marked as upstream.
