Im interested to hear about the thermal management comparisons between the Pro and this model. Particularly under heavy usage under gaming or video editing and coding. Any insights there?

According to the link below, the heat management is quite different in the pro. https://9to5mac.com/2019/04/03/2019-imac-versus-imac-pro/

My experience with an older high end iMac vs my new Pro is that the old iMac sounded like an aircraft taking off when building in Xcode or processing video, nothing on the Pro. It sounds like the I9 hasn't changed the cooling design.

Excellent writeup - just to note that the I9 iMac spec'd with 32gb RAM and 1tb SSD is about $250 less than what I paid for a new base iMac Pro a few months ago, and the Pro excels in other ways including partial upgradability

The presentation from Apple wasn't bad, always good to listen to Spielberg, and Aniston was a refreshing appearance there. However why have this event unless the service release is imminent - they end up getting stuffed by circumstances, announcing airpower before its availability was a classic example. In my mind it seemed like Jobs would announce something unexpectedly and it would be available immediately, but perhaps that's just my flakey memory. For streaming, they are just one more entity in the market, with deep pockets though, and their own streamer device owns a fraction of the market. However, Apple's attempts at services haven't been great, and the income they cite quarterly from "services" largely comes from the App Store and direct payments from Google. Apple excels at being a hardware/software company -I'm optimistic for the AR glasses when they arrive - not just another take on what's already out there. Licensing AirPlay to Samsung and other vendors indicates to me that Apple (through necessity) is moving out of its comfort zone, which is good.

Apple has introduced Apple Card 

Nope, it's announced Apple Card
