Apple CEO Tim Cook: ‘We Have Great Desktops in Our Roadmap'
- Thread starter MacRumors

- Sort by reaction score
Some folks in the media have raised the question about whether we're committed to desktops," Cook wrote. "If there's any doubt about that with our teams, let me be very clear: we have great desktops in our roadmap. Nobody should worry about that."
Tim hasn't earned the right to apply a "reality distortion field" on the current Mac situation. This is the moment where the leader must provide a clear vision when his faithful are all jumping ship.

Sounds like the mythical "pipeline" full of great products that never materialize he keeps talking about.
Oh, and BTW, Tim, not everyone wants a screen permanently attached to their computer. So please consider making a headless computer again that isn't as weak as the 2014 Mini and not as outrageously expensive as the Pro.

My next Apple desktop will likely be the consumer-level redesign. My current desktop computer is a mid-2010 27" iMac which serves all of its purposes extremely well, but I may want to upgrade within the next few years nonetheless. Extrapolating from Apple's present naming conventions, I am guessing that the next "iMac" will simply be branded the "Mac" or "Macintosh".
2016 is by far the most innovative year in Apple's history.
Name another tech company coming out with a 300 dollars book!!!

Yeah, sure Timmy.
Given your latest track record, I can totally believe everything you say.
The latest MacBook Pro was worse off than before, the Mac Pro was never refreshed, iOS being junk, etc...

There's a valid reason for it.
I would love a revamped and refreshed Mini paired to one of the new LG screens. Do it, Tim!
I thought they were in the pipeline?
Make up your mind.

I think Tim is just waiting for anybody who wants a desktop still to die off and just keeps the carrot dangling
Yeah, just like that e-mail from you that said "stay tuned" months ago.
And sure, easy to blame Intel for the lack of updates when the reality is they could easily lower prices, offer more RAM, or even standard fusion drives as ways of making up for the lack of updates.
But Tim, if you wanted to be clear, then you would have done these things to re-assure people, not charge $3,000 for a 2013 desktop in 2017.
And finally, we're not falling for it after you never explained what the iPhone 7 feature "you can't leave without" is.

Sadly, yeah. That's the only way some people can feel good, having a brief bit of power that's otherwise lacking in their lives.
So in other words, Tim has very little idea of the direction his company is heading in, and he's going to keep throwing darts/pulling strings to see what sticks.
He's a good numbers guy. He was hired as an operations guy after all. But you can't put a numbers guy in charge of a visionary company. You need a visionary CEO that will steer the company, and then let a numbers guy handle the cost effectiveness of it, margins, etc.

True. For too many people here, all they know how to do is complain. It's sad.
If you're unhappy with the products, don't buy them. D'uh.
To be fair, all of the recent news about Apple has been exceedingly negative, especially (and extremely surprisingly) with respect to their recent computer release, the new MacBook Pro, which to my knowledge has been plagued with more hardware-software integration problems than perhaps any device in recent Apple history. As a result, it's easy to become skeptical of any potential new Apple hardware.
I don't trust Tim. He will make it even thinner - which nobody wants. You can't use the iMac for some things - like VR development - because they sacrificed power for thinness.
Don't talk, walk. Tim, follow your example with Nike watch and just do it.
Trump is watching you....like infra red.

I'll take a iMac. 27". USB-C. Kaby Lake. Shake, not stirred.
Because you really did with making the 2016 MBP thinner and took away what used to make it the Pro. version.
