All iMacs now ship with an SSD — including the $1,099 21-inch model. Seems a bit overdue. Other than that, the 21-inch hasn't changed at all.

The Pro has changed slightly: the base model is now a ten-core, so the configuration has effectively gained $800 in "value". But it's still Skylake-W instead of Cascade Lake-W, and AMD Vega instead of Navi.

The most changes are with the 27-inch non-Pro: it moves from Coffee Lake Refresh-H to Comet Lake-H, enabling a ten-core option. It brings AMD graphics to Navi. The display now offers TrueTone; there's a $500 nano-texture finish option, similar to the $1000 option on the Pro Display XDR. RAM goes up to 128 GB. The camera is better, particularly in low-light; the mics are better in a similar vein to the 16-inch MacBook Pro.
