Will the new Mac mini M2 work with an Apple 27" Cinema Display?

Hello everyone,

I've read the older threads where the new Mac mini M1 with Thunderbolt 3 outputs worked with an Apple 27" Cinema Display with Mini Display Port input, as long as you had the right USB 4 to mini DP adapter.

So my question is, should the new Mac mini M2 also work, or would there be a problem as it has Thunderbolt 4 outputs?

Any USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable should work, such as:

A Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt adapter won't work even though a Mini DisplayPort plug will fit the adapter.
