Apple is making its recently-released iMacs more easily upgradeable, with retailer OWC confirming the base specification 27-inch 5K iMac can be fitted with up to 64GB of RAM, while an iFixit teardown reveals both the memory and the processor used in the 21.5-inch 4K iMac can be removed and replaced.
[...] an upgradeable iMac is a big shift in direction from Apple. The last 21.5-inch iMac with expandable memory was the 2013 model, while the last to include a modular CPU came in 2012.

Right? How feasible is it, for the *average* consumer that would be interested in doing so, to perform upgrades? Therein lies the question and I suspect it's not all that realistic. Can it be done? Absolutely. I can also build a rocket that's capable of going to the moon - maybe even while supporting human life during the transit. Well, I could... It'd just require another half-dozen years of school, billions of dollars, and many man-hours.
There's also no laws of physics that prevent me from inventing cold-fusion. Though, I admit, that's a wee bit more difficult than upgrading the iMac.
