Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPorts look the same but Thunderbolt ports will have a lightning bolt icon next to them.

Hi there,


Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPort use the same port and therefore are the same sizes. You can plug a Thunderbolt Cable or Adapter into the Mini DisplayPort. Based on https://support.apple.com/kb/sp687?locale=en_US and https://support.apple.com/kb/sp688?locale=en_US both the 21.5 inch and 27 inch iMacs from Late 2013 have Thunderbolt Ports.
