Emphasis on generally. Apple still sells many (most?) of its iMacs with spinning rust drives. Just picking up something from Apple Store and paying tons for it does not guarantee it meets minimum quality standards one might expect.

At least you know what you're getting. I don't understand why Apple still sells those devices but I'm not going to be surprised by what I receive.

What do you mean by that? That the quality is not good or that the stock is old?

Classic hard-drives with platters that physically spin rather than a solid state SSD hard-drive. Nothing necessarily wrong with the older HDD technology, though most people have come to expect the better performance characteristics that come with newer SSD technology.
