Just bought a Mobil 1 M1-110A from Autozone, but it looks very different. Haven't been able to find out whether it is an update or not. Does anyone have a clue?

If it looks different than what you saw before....that is a clue right there that they were changed. I would venture a guess, only because I have spent the night in a Holiday Inn Express, that it is an "update" rather than a "downgrade"
It is not uncommon for manufactures to change their product from time to time.

Maybe a China knockoff product? Maybe supplied to Mobil from a different contractor/supplier? Maybe go buy the next filter where you bought the fist one. Maybe go buy one at the dealer and then compare?
This kinda thing happens all the time with filters. Sometimes as said the manufacturer just updates the manufacturing specs for the filters in question. My suggestion, take it back and go somewhere else to get the correct one, or use it as is and buy a different one for the next oil change. Filter specs change allot over the years, sometimes not for the better (ex. some of the A/C Delco filters out there)

Are you perchance comparing the 110A to the 110?

This looks like a case for Scooby Doo and his team of investigators to get to the bottom of. Bet it's old man Caruthers from the amusement park. I'll go with Daphne and search parts stores over there...the rest of you guys stay here and search with Shaggy and Thelma.

Mobil1-104, two very different filters sold side by side at WMarr
Enjoy... The one on the left has exact same base plate as the Super Tech ST9688 except for silicon ADBV (bottom pic comparison).

From the Mobil 1 website...
Have additional questions about our oil filters?
Call our Oil Filter Hotline:
1-800-882-0890
Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST
Call and ask the people who sell them.
The M1-110A is a revised part number for Mobil One Extended performance filter that used conjunction with the extended performance oil(15,000 mile rated)will filter your oil up to 20,000 miles before going to bi-pass. The old part# M1-110 is still found and is rated for 15000 miles.

This would explain it. Looks the same, the one I pulled off from the Accord from last year's oil change was a M1-110A too, but with the 5 holes style base plate. Made in 2018 too, but the newer one is made in late 2019.
