Hyper's new USB-C Hubs upgrade your 24-inch iMac
Add additional functionality to your 24-inch iMac with Hyper's new HyperDrive hubs that provide USB-A, SD, and fast-charge capabilities.
Hyper has come up with a clever solution to the paucity of the 24-inch iMac ports, and the location on the back -- a clip-on user-facing hub that attaches to the bottom of the iMac. Not only does this provide users with front-facing access to ports, but it also expands the type of ports you have access to.
There are currently two models hubs available, the HyperDrive 5-in-1 and HyperDrive 6-in-1, which each feature the following ports:

edited: My bad, it uses a clamp system, which is a great idea. I couldn't find the 5-1 Hub for anything much less an iMac on their website.
6-port *Pre-Orders purchased now are planned to ship starting 09/10.*
Does anyone know how many watts you can get from the 24” iMac USB C ports?
Look at the photo of the back. The front panel is split and the big knurled silver knob tightens it.
Simple and effective.
I have a couple of Hyper USB-C docks. One with Ethernet for my MacBook Pro and another with an SD Card reader and HDMI for my iPad Pro.
They're nicely made and work flawlessly.
I have the similar hub for my iMac Pro, and it’s so useful. I’d get this immediately if I got the 24” iMac. 👍
If you need constant access to ports, there are a number of docks (such as this one!) to modify your situation. How stupid would it look to have all the ports on the front of the iMac with a bunch of shit sticking out of 'em? Very. Apple made the correct decision.
