Doesn't matter what I do, or even if I'm in the Internet Recovery. Every attempt to either install MacOS, update the software, or even manage partitions. Heck, not even First Aid works! It always ends with the following error: "Storage System Verify or repair failed (-69716)".
Is this the end for my iMac?
iMac 27″, macOS 10.14

Once again, the drive is fine. The data/tables are corrupt. Make a new install USB and re-install the OS fresh. Then you may be able to restore from backup.

nothing wrong with that drive, just the file system. Hopefully you did a backup before you ran the beta.
Restore from your backup and you'll be fine.
FYI - You shouldn't be running a beta if you do not understand the implications
You try a fresh install? This is what they're going to try before replacing your drive.
No backups, just death, sorrow, and now some serious breakage
Also, sorry for the sideways pictures
More likely the end for your HD. They can be replaced.
It's a Mercury Electra 6G SSD, and my particular iMac is sealed I believe. It's a 2015 27" model
Bring it to an Apple Store or approved Apple repair shop.
APFS can get unrepairable, solution is usually to reformat it if you have a good backup.
That same backup was also corrupted. My only option is to take it to a certified Apple repair shop and have them swap the SSD

Potentially gone for good
