Haha, I suppose that is pretty obvious
Interesting, great thread, thinking of getting a new iMac and will definitely not pay $600 for 32GB of apple's ram.

Part of me still wonders what exactly Apple was thinking when deciding to let people add their own RAM. It's just so unlike them. Not saying I don't love the fact I can install 4 sticks with 1 hand in less than 2 minutes, but it's just so unlike them to try to be as greedy as possible.
Then again I suppose because of this they raise the price on all the other upgrades.
Is the only 2133 MHz ram for this iMac the one made by Kingston? Looks like it's about $60 USD per 8 GB stick, so for 32GB it's about $240 vs about $170 for 32GB of the 1866 MHz Crucial ram that they state is compatible with the 17,1 iMac.

It's been that way whole time until now with 21 inch iMac. It's too mean to block out one of the simplest upgrades.
Didn't know that. So starting with the iMac back in 2000 it's always been upgradable?
Will the Kingston ram fit in the iMac with the heat spreader on them? they look kinda big

Good eye you have. Those are too big.
That link to is to a pair of SD-DIMMs. The iMac use SO-DIMMs; 204 pin, 1.35v.
I believe this Kingston RAM is what Twilexia intended to link to:

The new iMac has 1600Mhz fitted as standard, so you can use your 32Gb no problem. You'll have the original 8Gb left over to sell.
