And why are the pacemakers not properly shielded?

Induction stoves, metal detectors, phones, magnetic fasteners, etc. are increasingly widespread. To construct pacemakers as if patients were Amish is negligent in itself…

Before you all think you can replace RAM with SSDs:
SSD has a limited number of read/write cycles before it wears out, RAM is written to much more frequently than mass storage, so unless there are orders of magnitudes of improvements in the wear of SSD, that doesn't sound like a good option, especially since it's non-trivial to replace an aging SSD from one of these super-slim devices.
If you can afford to toss a $5k computer every 18-24 months, and the OS and hardware controllers are doing an excellent job at wear leveling, then you might be OK, but otherwise 16GB just isn't enough.

We might be OK once reading to SSD is fast enough and hardware is advanced enough, that code can be memory mapped and executed off the mass storage, never even hitting any RAM other than maybe CPU cache, and RAM being used strictly for data only; but I don't think we're there yet.

So when judging Apple's current offerings, it's not relevant what can be done in the future, but what can be done now, and now, 16GB isn't enough.
If battery life is an issue, they could shrink available RAM during battery operations by switching off one bank, and halving it from 32GB to 16GB, with some engineering efforts; heck, if they can switch GPUs on the fly....

The iMac should be discontinued. In it's stead there should be a 4 or 5k CinemaDisplay with a docking mount into which a new, flatter MacMini snaps.

That way iMac has an upgradable processing module, macMini has space (in the monitor) for decent GPU, additional storage, etc.

Apple can reduce the product lineup thus freeing up space for higher end macMini configurations, less stuff goes to waste because the monitor can be reused when the CPU module is upgraded 18-24 months down the road.

If the docking port is driven by a XILINX FPGA, then it's easy to reconfigure the pin layout to accommodate changes in future CPU platforms or interfaces by means of firmware updates.

If Apple were serious about being green, they would switch to modular desktop computers ASAP.

Apple's obsession with thinness is getting ridiculous, if they were girls, they'd all be anorexic...
...and instead of top performance we get second or thirds tier components that fit into the cooling capacity of these overly thin devices, and we have systems that under heavy load randomly slow down because the CPU gets throttled because it otherwise would overheat.
It is one thing to strive for thinning when laptops are the size of an NYC phone book, it's a different thing to try to make them thinner when they already cut uncomfortably into your hands if you carry them for a while, and they start to flex noticeably.
Apple is on the same evolutionary dead end as peacocks with their ever longer and ever shinier feathers which may attract mates, but otherwise are simply a useless hindrance.

Electric cars are overrated, hugely resource intensive, range limited.
They are great for urban short distance, but not for longer distance commutes or travel.

Audi developed a synthetic diesel created from water, electricity (solar, WAMSR), and atmospheric CO2; meaning it burns absolutely clean and remains CO2 neutral, and can be produced whenever renewable energy is available, decoupled from demand.
Further it can be used with all the existing legacy infrastructure from oil furnaces to farm or construction equipment, ships, etc.

Electric cars may be sexy, but if you really are about saving the ecosystem, creating billions of electric cars depending on rare earth metals, massive lithium batteries, and often fueled by electricity from dirty coal power plants, aren't going to be the solution.
