OP is showing a page that identies a 24-inch iMac, but that's not a current 24-inch (probably a 27-inch)
Not sure what the OP means by "ragged"?

Yeah, here's what the silver iMac now looks like -- white bezels, no Apple logo. By "ragged" he means "ragged" = "worn out" = "showing its age".

On a Mac, I don't see the same webpage as the OP. This is what I see:

But there's no issue with the MBP's, so I don't know why he's got the question marks there. And "iPad Apple Store" is clearly a typo by the OP. Edit: @JackNeill explained OP meant "the Apple Store when viewed on an iPad". But that still doesn't explain the question marks.

I believe the question marks are for the circled iMac in question. It’s just beside the circle instead of on top to not block the incorrect iMac

I’m not sure what’s happening here.
I think there’s confusion around the question marks that the original poster added. I do believe that they make it much harder to understand what it is that they are commenting about.

As the other person said, every picture available of anything records the appearance of objects as they were in the past. This does not oppose, though, the claim of that the image shown does not match its description.
 
The fact that it’s still called 24” iMac, when they sell no other iMacs and supposedly aren’t planning to, is… odd.

It makes sense to me. For the 12 years prior to the introduction of the 24" iMac (2009–2021), their iMacs were all 21.5" and 27". For the typical consumer who might want to replace their old iMac, and doesn't follow Apple like we do, it's important to make it clear that this sizing is a break from what they are used to. Also, first blush, this looks more like the 21.5" than the 27", so saying it's 24" has marketing value.

I would like Apple to standardize its naming —make it all follow an obvious pattern. Putting marketing effects aside, it would be great to see iPhone (14th generation) and iMac (23rd generation).
