I suspect that would have been something they both agreed on. Ives being Ives and Jobs being the type of person who refused to sell a mouse with two buttons until the second "button" could be hidden away behind a touch interface. Though to be fair any of the displays I've used with USB ports also have them situated around the back. I guess it's a bit different when you're talking about the only ports on the computer vs. ports added for convenience.
