Milking a decade-old design one more time.
Or just giving it a one year extra of life before Arm and the redesign.

Were you really expecting a redesign without Arm?

The pricing for this iMac is ridiculous. No wonder Apple is swimming in money.
If you try to spec out a PC with similar configuration you will find the iMac the same price. $3200 for a good computer is nothing, we were Spending $3200 in 1982! That is like $7000 in todays dollars.

iMac Pro getting old as well. 3 years since they last updated it.
3 years? That's mid-cycle for the Pro lineup!
