Sadly, you could upgrade the memory on 21.5" iMacs as long as you dig deep. I want Tim Cook to go f*** himself and stop with his utter greed.
24GB SSD for a 1TB Fusion Drive? WHAT KIND OF BULL IS THIS? AND FOR 120$?
Lighting connector on the BOTTOM of the mouse? WHYYY? Also, I really wish Apple updated the wired keyboard. At least it is being sold.
I've been hoping for a new trackpad (Got accustomed to the force-rouch with the 6S), but that price is pretty out there.
My 3-year-old, solar-powered Logitech keyboard seems a lot more magical than Apple's new keys. People still charge keyboards?

OMG and I thought $169 CAD was insane. I guess they don't really care to sell a lot of those...
It's not. It has a scissor mechanism, not butterfly. But it does have a bit less travel. Here's a review: http://sixcolors.com/post/2015/10/apple-magic-keyboard-review/
Bad graphics (and, in the old days, skimpy RAM) were alive and well under Jobs.
You could be on to something there. I wouldn't be shocked if people actually tried to do that lol.
No backlit keyboard is a deal breaker for me. It's the only thing that would've warranted an upgrade. Force touch on a Mac doesn't add much since you can do a 3-finger tap on most things for the same functions.
Wow. I knew the new accessories wouldn't be great, but I didn't think they would be this bad.
Just a few cons:
- what happens when your $100+ device's battery dies? It's useless unless you give Apple more money.
- you have to tether them to charge them. This is the whole thing these devices were meant to avoid.
- they're way overpriced compared to the older models that had the same functionality (no, force touch is a gimmick to most people)
I already have two sets of the old keyboard and track pad, I'll be buying up more, since the future looks grim for this category.

OUCH they are expensive!!! I knew Apple doesn't do cheap but £2,500 for a top iMac is a bit pricey for me, looks like my 2012 iMac will have to last for a little longer, and have to get my new job soon to pay for new stuff. £109 for a trackpad way expensive :L but will probably end up getting one in the end

I know it's Australian but this is pretty close to the same SSDs that Apple use in the MacBook Pro these days (look at them read/write speeds!). So price-wise, apple aren't really that big of rip off for their SSDs, the markup isn't that big.

When I saw 4K iMac powered by an Intel Iris 6200 mentioned in the same sentence, I laughed like a maniac!
OMG, that's so stupid. Unbelievable. I guess Apple expects you to buy two: one to use while the other charges.
Incredible. Apple must be the only one moving away from SSDs instead of toward.
I'm sure there are some PC trolls, but there are some legitimate comments and short-comings with these new products. Just doesn't seem like Apple's pushing the envelope other than dropping in a retina display. iMacs make up such a small percentage of Apple's revenue these days, it's probably not their top priority.
Where have you seen this? Couldn't find any mention on Apple's website, but it's insanely poor if true.
So it's $100 to go to Fusion drive. Mac Mini still costs $200 to do the same. At $100, why would ANYONE not do this? In terms of percentage of total cost of the machine, this was more relevant in terms of the Mac Mini, especially in previous versions where you had to upgrade from the base model to be able to get Fusion.
