He must have been using Siri.
Or someone who is clueless.
I'm getting tired of Tim saying they have great products in the pipeline. If you have to say it that much then your doing something wrong. I remember when it seemed like Apple always had a new product or upgrade coming out. You were always excited to see what's next. Now it seems like Apple drags between product releases and they bore me now. They can't say technology is slowing down and that the advancements are not coming as fast because THEY are the ones who are supposed to be making the advancements. In Steve Jobs time they made some great advances in technology. Now their supposed "advancements" are almost laughable. They need someone with a real eye for technology who can dream and envision the future. Johnny Ive is a great designer but I don't think he is much of a visionary. That is what Apple is sorely missing.
ROI isn't important? Then wtf is with dongle extravaganza!!!!!
Wow that was a memo to EMPLOYEES.
The apple natives are getting restless too.
There, fixed that typo for you.

Is that it for the pipeline then? AHHHHHHH! I see what you did there Mr Cook.. Pipeline = Mario Run.. Genius.
I thought the roadmap would have been for the AppleCar though. Maybe Mario Cart iOS?
Oh and my last iMac got so hot you could fry a logic board on it. Turns out that's exactly what happened.

I think alot of people abandoned desktops around 2008-2012 for powerful laptops that mainly lived on their desks. the last 6 years has witnessed the rise of ultrabooks, fairly powerful laptops in smaller form factors. Personally I am interested in returning to the desktop and keeping my mobil ultrabook updated via the cloud. There are a small number of truly mobile professionals, but i think many would be better served with a desktop, assuming updated form factors are available
There aren't any products to buy, thats the point of the complaints.
Translated, they can't the performance of their A10x chipset desktop to equal the performance of Intel i7 chipset. So they are trying figure out a way to slow down Sierra for Intel in the next update.
That is what he was thinking while sitting at the table. Just look at his expression.

In a post to an employee message board obtained by TechCrunch, Apple CEO Tim Cook assured employees that the company is still committed to the Mac and that "great desktops" are coming. Apple's desktop computers haven't seen an upgrade in at least 433 days.
<snipped for brevity>
The lack of refreshed Mac hardware can be attributed to a combination of Apple waiting on chipmakers and suppliers to ship their new products and the Cupertino Company's renewed focus on iPad.
Apple's desktop Macs haven't seen upgrades in over a year. The iMac's last update was 433 days ago, the Mac Mini's last update was 795 days ago and the Mac Pro's last update was 1,097 days ago.

Apple has left the barn door wide open for Asus, Lenovo, HP, Dell, Xiaomi, etc to invest wisely in combining superbly packaged and supported Linux with great build quality hardware. Alas, no OEM seems to have the desire, or do they...
After the MacBook Pro debacle, I don't know if I believe a word he says anymore...I can only hope but that's exactly what I did with the new MacBook "Pro" and I was rather disappointed.

I know that Apple always likes to be the 'secret' company, but this has really gone too far...

A 5k emoji would blow my mind.
Do you think they could have an OS in the pipeline that is entirely in emojis?
Oh gosh I hope not. I'm actually vaguely afraid of that since Cook didn't really mention "Pro" machines.
Does anybody think otherwise?
I mean, when he speaks "desktops", I'm thinking 21" 4K and 27" 5K iMac with new Touch Bar keyboard and USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports. Discrete AMD GPU on the 27", Intel GPU on the 21". Dual core i5 on the 21" with up to 16 GB of RAM. Quad Core i5 and i7 processors with up to 32 GB of RAM on the 27".
And I think that's the desktop situation with the Mac. No more Mac Mini or Mac Pro.
I hope I'm wrong, but I really think Apple is only interested in the MacBook, MacBook Pro and iMac nowadays.
Kaby Lake...neither a "tick" nor a "tock"...no wonder MS is looking at arm processors for windows 10
For sure Apple is actively pursuing that in Srouji's lab. Just not ready yet. Being dependent on Intel's roadmap is an awful situation.
Don't forget the Apple dongle to connect your iPhone or iPad to your new MacBook Pro which you'll need when the new iOS update bricks it!
So zero upgradability, thinner, USB-C only, and more expensive.
Can't wait...
Can't wait...
Or it appears behind you in the mirror and kills you.
