because like most systems you tend to only hear the horror stories but the vast majority never experience an issue. I replaced my previous 2013 iMac only because updates to its Nvidia video card were no longer occurring.
I have only owned iMacs since they switched to Intel, starting with a 24 inch to having passed through to my third 27 model. I never once had an issue other than software related.
Now I do agree with many that have stated that Apple should long go have ditched spinning hard drives and I am still amazed they did not. I would like to see some hard evidence of failure rates, I doubt it could be as bad as many think it is but considering how long Apple recently allowed their keyboard issues to manifest I could be wrong

- drewg123 6y agoIn this case, the reason for replacement is the fact that its a slow spinning disk and makes the system feel sluggish and dated, not that it has failed. What I find shameful is that in 2020 Apple is STILL SELLING 5400rpm spinnng drives as the base drive in iMacs. https://www.apple.com/imac/specs/ https://www.apple.com/imac/specs/
