Email reply received from Steve Jobs about MacPro

[harlem]

Hello everyone,

some time ago i joined this forum and asked a question about switching from pc to Apple, i was also wondering if it was a smart thing to buy the current macpro (to be honest i don't really know all that much about hardware or computers in general) so after some responses from you guys i decided to wait it out a little more for the new macpro. i checked it last week but still not a new release, i emailed sjobs@apple (read on this forum that he sometimes replies) asking him about when we could expect the macpro and if the prices are going to be changed. To my surprise i got a response after 20 minutes:eek:

No Need to update yet. The current Mac Pro is still a very good and Powerfully efficient workstation.

does this reply make sense to anyone, i thought a new macpro was going to be released, is it save to say we wont be seeing a macpro for the next couple of months or even 2010, i'm not familiar with how Apple handles updates and stuff :confused:
and is it actually steve jobs replying or is this just an automated computer reply?

[TuffLuffJimmy]

You should reply saying something to the effect of "it's ridiculously expensive for what you get. I'll just make a significantly better spec'd machine and hackintosh it. And I'll do it for half the price."

Screenshot and Full Headers or it never happened.

[harlem]

i don't have no reason to lie about it, don't even have a mac yet :(

but no problem
how do i open full headers (i'm on pc and use outlook express)

Also, is this imac

http://store.apple.com/fr/configure/MB953F/A?mco=MTM3NjAyNjA

a better option than this macpro at this moment

http://store.apple.com/fr/configure/MB535F/A?mco=MTM4MzEwOTM

to be honest i don't really care about having the latest, either way its going to be a huge improvement for me anyway

...will you really need the power and expandability of the MP?

Even if they do update them soon, unless your work requires it the iMac is powerful and expensive compared to other makers offerings (this is being typed on a HP a6650F quad AMD PC with a user installed 4450 ATi video card running win7 64bit with 2.5 Tb of internal storage = $509 out the door... it may not be as small as a mini but its my HTPC and its not loud at all)...

I like my iMac and dual monitor setup and its valuable for my work as work runs iMac's, my whitebook is also portable but I dual boot to winXP when needed and my eeePC gets carried everywhere for the size factor so I don't expect to upgrade any machines for at least another 3 years unless some groundbreaking software comes out that just won't run on my machines (my Wii and PS3 take care of my gaming wants)...

[VirtualRain]

Interesting. I think this is impactful enough to this forum group to get some firm evidence that this is not fake.

[reel2reel]

Of course it didn't happen. And it's not even funny, so what's the point?

[appleguy123]

IF true, I think that a new MacPro is on the horizon

I suppose you're right. Someone should draft a rather intelligent email to Steve on this subject, he does seem to reply with uncanny frequency these days. :)

[Cindori]

Even if macpro update was 10 days away, this would be a logic move to sell off as many 09 macpros as possible. So, does this really mean anything? Judge yourself..

[ARF900]

I call BS on this one.

Comparing those particular iMacs and Mac Pros, you should purchase based on what you will be using your computer for.

IMO, iMac is the way to go. And even if the Pro's were updates tomorrow, you wouldn't be left in the dust by any means. It's still a beast of a computer.

[Vylen]

Hmmm..

I emailed Steve Jobs a couple days ago asking if we would see a new Mac Pro this year or next year and never got a reply.

I'm skeptical about this one.

who what how?

Until it's on the front page of MR, this is BS. A lot of people are pissed at how much the Mac Pro sucks and how much of a rip off it is. Jobs has to know that even if he reads even 1% of his emails (one has to have slipped through).

I smell BS and lies. I say we do to harlem what Middle earth did to Gandalf (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRcMVMeXPQ4) (nsfw language/truth)

That's true. If they were gonna update soon, it would make sense to try and get rid of all the old ones they still have in stock.

[Ravich]

Is it really that likely that Steve Jobs would reply with a response like that with the intention of updating it within the next few weeks?

Either way, that's just really frustrating to hear.

[harlem]

i received an email response about 20 minutes after i had send it...now how do i know if its actually steve jobs doing the replies, some computer generated reply or some guy getting payed to awnser the emails...very simple, i don't know and i don't have a direct line so i can ask him. you believe it or you don't, really that simple but i don't see a reason for me to just pick it out of thin air...i'm in the market myself for a Mac system my very first one if i may say so:D

when i go to email properties (is this the headers you mean stevie jobs?) i get this (i left my data out)

Received: from mail-out3.apple.com ([17.254.13.22])

i'm still not sure if i should buy the imac or macpro...when reading this forum it seems that the imac gives to most performance for my buck at the moment and i get to save 1000$ :D....and as mentioned before it will be a huge improvement anyway, at the moment i'm on pc with the first generation dual core and 2 Gb of memory...if i'm right even the macmini is faster wright?

mmmm luxury problems

[Vylen]

I swear I've seen a Steve-mail in the past that sung the same tune as the one posted here.

T'was at least a couple years back, so I can't recall the details (like exactly when).

If anyone else can remember, then maybe we can figure out what Steve's angle is on this based on the past - assuming this email is real (while also proving I haven't gone insane and made stuff up :p)

[ValSalva]

Didn't SJ say at the ATD conference in June that Google was in for a world of hurt with Google TV for variety of reasons? And now there are rumors that Apple TV is about to be revamped.

You are right. One seemingly can read more into what SJ says Apple will not do. Mac Pros must be just around the corner if this email is authentic :rolleyes:

[cluthz]

In any way I would wait for either iMac or Mac Pro to be updated before I bought something, unless you really need it right now.

The i5 iMac isn't bad value tho, the screen alone is costly if you want something similar. The Dell Ultrasharp U2711 is the closest screen you get compared to the iMac and it costs $1099 from Dell (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&sku=224-8284&redirect=1)

The iMac is $1999, so you'll pay $900 for a i5 2.66GHz Quadcore with 4GB RAM and 1TB HD and Ati 4850.

[xgman]

I don't find this supposed statement to be encouraging at all, at least in the very short term. In fact it just goes to show how out of touch the responder is with the Pro marketplace.

[harlem]

i decided to just wait till the end of July (my current system still works so no big problem) if its not by the end of July (and I'm guessing not because of the not so much encouraging email response) than i'm going with an imac. its cheaper than the mac pro and if a few months after the new macpro is released, being twice as fast, i wouldn't feel so bad because i paid so much for the current macpro.

oh yeah, why do some people here see steve jobs reply as being positive in terms of "this means the mac pro is just around the corner"? does he usually responds to emails before an update release and say the product is not going to be updated yet?

[markie]

harlem, because you dared to question the Worshipful Master... who knows all we need and all that we really want... you can't possibly really want anything that the Worshipful Master says you don't need!

P.S. I'd hope this is completely obvious but I just realized it may well not be... I'm being quite sarcastic but also sadly far too true of some people.

I believe him. Thats something steve would say. But I hope he is just using that to get rid of old macs so he can bring the new ones out and I hope they are awesome by my definition not Steve's.

I think it is. Considering its been up here since June 3rd and it hasn't been posted anywhere but on this forum makes me think it has to be. If it was real, it would have been up on the MR front page, or at least page 2.

[Firebar]

This is fake. Look at the grammar for goodness sake, it's awful.

[strausd]

This is fake. Look at the grammar for goodness sake, it's awful.

True. Why would Steve randomly capitalize "Need" and "Powerfully". Also, why would he say "Powerfully efficient workstation" in the first place?

I still stick with my guess of July 13th....

Monday was a US holiday. There was no chance for any release yesterday. Now next Monday the 12th, that's a different story...

[mwayne85]

If this is true, i'm going to be very upset. :(

But since the OP can't even take a simple screen capture, i'm going to say it's BS.

[maflynn]

But since the OP can't even take a simple screen capture, i'm going to say it's BS.

Maybe its BS maybe it isn't, but one thing is for sure. Apple has not updated the MP line for some time and it doesn't look like they're in any hurry to do so.

Besides, what does the OP have to gain by lying about an update? Its not like he joined just to create this thread.

Apple's focus is on its iToys and less on computers, particularly the MacPro. Its not like they move a lot these babies, not when the low end MP is 2,500, how many units do you think they move. Not enough to justify expending resources to update it.

believe it or don't believe it, all up to you. like mentioned before, i don't see why i should invent getting an email from Steve jobs, since i'm not a mac user yet i didn't even knew all this mac pro update thing was such a big deal anyway.

i could post a screenshot but won't even bother...cause then its probably something else that's fake about it :rolleyes:

besides that, to the geniuses demanding a screenshot, if i went trough the trouble of inventing all this what makes you think i won't fake an email-screenshot...seriously its like 5 min. work, and you won't ever notice the difference.

So like i said believe it or not, i could care less :rolleyes:

Taking the stance that this is fake, we all know that it's so hard to write an email with poor grammar claiming to be from Steve, and even more work to google for an example of headers.

The sad thing is, the resources to keep it updated have to be absolutely miniscule compared to the resources they put into new iPhones every year. Think of the good will they would maintain if they actually looked like they cared about people's work machines too. They've gotta be careful, seems like they are treading dangerous waters. So much effort is put into the iPhone and it seems like version 4 is a PR disaster. Go look at any other tech site and see how much people hate Apple now. They are starting to be made fun of on a variety of TV shows (which often have to edit it out, or apologize! Insanity...), and it just seems like the "coolness" factor is rapidly dying.

If they screw their base contingent for something that's about to be trumped by Android, who knows? Of course sales seem to only be going up recently so...

One more thing...i did get the email as a response to the one i had send to sjobs@apple.com. And even tho it could be possible that steve jobs has actually nothing better to do than respond to emails, i strongly doubt it. :rolleyes:

these emails are probably getting answered by some guys that do nothing else all day. now I'm not a rocket scientist here but steve jobs answering thousands of emails,...from his Ipod.... naaaaaa.

Hence the grammar mistakes. If Steve indeed wrote that email, than it must be pretty scary for some guys here whom worship Steve Jobs and think he's a supreme being. Even tho it might be the end of life as you know it, but one day some of you freaks might have to acknowledge that Steve's sh*# stinks just as bad as yours.

Sure, people can think what they want. And of course I, among many others, am waiting for the new MP. And since its been so long since the last update, I am questioning whether or not this is real. And ya, it makes no sense why someone would randomly make this up, cause who in their right mind would do something so stupid and for no reason? But I think we all know that this world is full of people who aren't in their right minds who like to do stupid things for no reason.

And I still find it interesting that you continuously try and avoid a simple screenshot or full headers. Also, its weird that you keep bringing up the idea that someone else is replying to you instead of Steve himself. If he doesn't want to reply to an email, he just won't. Why would he ever have someone else reply?

[spiralof5]

part of me says that it was not actually Steve Jobs replying. Do you think Steve would actually have such a simple email address that the public could access?

all you guys asking for screenshots wouldn't even recognize a SJ email if it hit you in the head. Who started this "ooo post headers and screenshots" crap anyway.

He does actually respond to some. You can find some in past Macrumors stories. I'm guessing he doesn't read all of his zillions of emails and most are probably screened by staff.

I emailed him and asked him for a couple billion dollars, but still haven't gotten a response. That's peanuts for him, isn't it? That Steve is so smug!

Since you claim its real, a screen shot would take about 10 seconds.

And thanks for telling me what I would know newbie ;)

And last thing, Steve Jobs wouldn't reply to an email like that. He hardly responds to any emails in the first place. Those he wouldn't want to respond to, he just doesn't! No need at all for someone else to respond. He will just ignore them!

New ATI and NVIDIA drivers sure seem like at least something to me.

New ATI and NVIDIA drivers sure seem like at least something to me.

Or, as I've already mentioned, it is Apple taking notice of the Valve/Steam issues and opening up options for current MPs.

IF true, I think that a new MacPro is on the horizon
Who wants to watch video on their iPod?
We don't know how to make a $500 netbook that isn't a piece of crap
We have no intentions of entering the cell phone market.

I want Steve to keep saying we won't make a mini tower. That way Apple will finally build something that meets my needs.

There is NO credible evidence or truth behind this email at all... No primary source was mentioned at all in this nor did someone notice steve job's sending it.. since there is no evidence supporting this to be geuninly from the mouth of Steve Jobs, this is fantasy.. a heresay.

and above all: A FREAKING GAME SOMEONE IS PLAYING ON HERE!
