Not naming the Mac Pro? Ouch
From what he said, he could just mean a smaller and a larger iMac.

I dont get apple, why didnt they already update mac pro? Its broadwell ep now, and broadwell ep can go to 22 cores in a aingle slot and thunderbolt 3 is ut as well. 22 cores would have been great for marketing.
I really hope he's referring to Mac Pro and not just iMac.
In other news; One day, I'll join a gym.
Nearest thing to saying Mac Pro might be:
new iMac Product lineup
Ain't seeing the Mac Pro referenced as a desktop at least here

anyone got Tim Cook calling the Mac Pro a desktop, not just the iMac?

Anyone else tired of being told Apple's products are the best in the world?
That is not a self appointed title. It's something others say about your product when it's true. Running around saying "we're the best" is egotistical, if not downright arrogant.
Also, "waiting for chip suppliers" is a really stupid excuse for not shipping more systems. Near as I can tell, they're not actually waiting for some mythical hardware to drop, so much as they've been kneecapped by Ive's thin designs that cannot accommodate the TDP of currently available silicon. If they weren't so obsessed with form over function, we'd be seeing plenty of new systems released on a yearly basis.

this reminds me of an interview before the apple watch
"we have amazing things in the pipeline"
years later we have...
a bigger ipad
slightly thinner computers that compromises on performance
and a fitness tracker.
boom!

Look I just quoted a Toxic, juvenile MacRumors comment.
If they're anything like the last three Mac product upgrades, why bother?
Let's see what actually ships for the iMac:
- USB C only
- Kaby Lake processors
- macOS Sierra 10.12.4
- giant emoji's (5K 27 inch model only)
Can't innovate my ass. Now we've got roadmaps
Well I'm going to stay with my new Win based desktop. He can say all he wants about the "pipeline", it's a story of too little too late for many.
If it's anything like the 'great' laptops that were coming, I'll be sticking with my Hackintosh plans this Spring.
See, the thing is, we WANT to buy new Macs.
I want to buy a new Macbook Pro Retina, but I want function keys, 32GB RAM, and an SSD that isn't soldered on.
Most in this thread want either :
1) A Mac Mini that has a quad core processor and memory that isn't soldered on.
2) A iMac that isn't so thin that it throttles the processor. Really close to no one would decide to take form over the lack of thermal throttling. Also, most think that NVidia would provide a better GPU.
3) Or a Mac Pro that was recently updated, has graphics options, and up-gradable hardware. Until the cylinder form factor, the Mac pro was the member of the lineup that had lots of options, and could be molded to better fit changing workflows over the lifetime of the device.
But lately, consumers have none of that, but they still like their OSX workflows. They are ready to buy, but there is nothing matching what the WANT to buy.
Personally, again, my main complaint is with the Macbook Pro Retina. Hackintoshes more sense to me than waiting for Apple to release something that they appear to have moved away from.
I haven't been very happy with Apple products this year- I bought a 27 inch iMac in February and while the monitor is nice the computers performance is mediocre for what it cost, especially the graphics and hard drive.
BUT
Let's see what actually is released before bad mouthing anything. I just got a new HP laptop at work and I can't say I'm impressed with it either. Seems that processors haven't been anything special for the last 2 years for anyone's computers,and OS and software requirements eat up all of any improvements that they might have. And the HP comes chock full of ads and bloatware.

Yep. Read between the lines - the Mac Pro is dead.
Keep in mind that Tim would likely describe the new rMBP as great...
Since that's clearly not going to happen, why not just move on with your life and buy a Dell/Sanyo/Lenovo/whatever and find some happiness?
If Ford was not going to make cars that meet my needs, next time I needed a car I'd get another brand. Whining about Ford would not be a solution.
