A Russian hacking group called Ravil (Sodinokibi) has released documents showcasing the 2021 MacBook Pro logic board, including details and imagery of new ports.
The team began posting the stolen photos on April 20, timed to coincide with Apple's latest "Spring Loaded" event.

The new MacBook Pro models will add ports. These documents make multiple references to codenames "J314" and "J316", which Bloomberg had previously reported represent the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with Apple Silicon inside.
On the right-hand side, there is an HDMI port, a USB-C port, and an SD card slot.
Whereas a MagSafe connector and a headphone jack are reportedly on the left-hand side. This means the 2021 MacBook Pro has one fewer USB-C port than the current model.
