Where’s the Ethernet Port?

Apple 24-Inch iMac M3 8-Core 8GB RAM 256GB SSD, 8-Core GPU Retina 4.5K Desktop Computer in Pink (Late 2023) - MQRD3LL/A


Description of the iMac 24 includes :


“HDMI Output No

Interfaces/Ports

2 x Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports, 3.5 mm headphone jack, Gigabit Ethernet”


but there is no Ethernet port. Not any that I can find. The sales person said it was on the power block, but alas it is not.


very confused in Illinois

The base model iMac does not come with an Ethernet port on the power adapter.


It cost an additional $30 more to add Ethernet to the base model iMac, see > Blue iMac - Apple


Your options are to keep that model as is and use Wi-Fi or... take that iMac back and tell the sales person to give you the more expensive model with Ethernet built into to power adapter.

Thank you all for your replies. I was told that information in the store. I asked if they could open the box as the description had the Ethernet port. This is an authorized Apple dealer. If I miss the Ethernet I can always buy the peripheral. The price was very attractive and I don’t feel cheated.
