They could ****ing throw a bone to everyone waiting for a proper Pro tower by giving a ****ing glimpse into whether or not the Pro is dead instead wasting everyone's time.

The Pro market should never depend on rumors and teases. I have **** to do and money to make and the longer you take with these stupid "sneak peeks", the more money I'll lose.
 
Maybe TC took some MiraLax to unclog his pipeline.
I guess this gives me some hope, but I kind of worry about the possible changes Cook has in mind for the Mac.

At the meeting, Cook was also questioned about a potential convergence between the Mac and iPad lines, in the from of a touchscreen Mac. While Cook said he didn't want to comment on future product plans, he again reiterated that he sees the iPad and the Mac as two separate product lines that serve different purposes.

Please, please, please, keep them separate. The Mac OS has already had some crappy changes to make it more iOS like, such as iTunes. I would hate to see the two merge.
 
"Expect us to do more and more where people will view it as a laptop replacement, but not a Mac replacement - the Mac does so much more," he said. "To merge these worlds, you would lose the simplicity of one, and the power of the other."

Hahahaha you are so funny Tim! You have already done this, lose the simplicity of one and the power of the other. You have failed. Thank you.
 
Basically guys, there's no need to worry.

Yes a few products are pretty long overdue a spec bump, and the platter drives have long overstayed their welcome, but Apple are in a significantly stronger position now than they were in 2011 — and I don't just mean financially.

A new Mac Pro every year since 2011 would have paled in comparison to their current achievements with in-house chips and so many other things. It's not to say they couldn't have done both, of course! But it's sometimes good to take a step back and see the larger picture.

Rest assured, the new Mac Pro/Mac Mini will come; hopefully along with a more consistent silent hardware upgrade cycle! :)

was that meant to be sarcastic? what do in-house chips have to do with workstation class machines? what is the significance of 2011? has Apple been in financial hardship for the past 5 years?
 
I'm uncomfortable with how willing people are to deny presented information to maintain the Apple-hate narrative in their heads, and go as far as accuse the CEO of bald-face lying.

There's maybe no hard evidence of lying, but it's fact he took away the MagSafe concept from MBP. They have all the money in the world and couldn't create a USB-c MagSafe? There are many other ridiculous things he did like this. He's the opposite of innovator.
