Apple not interested in pro level ?
They bring out a 2013 Mac pro cylinder, and it has not been refreshed... You could say at the time, Mac Pro needs are hard-core power and u have that, so why need to update.?.. then again, u can say the same about any Apple product as well..
I don't think its just because "we believe Mac Pro doesn't need an update because Apple got it right and they'll never need to refresh it again for the next 5 years"
That's hard to swallow. Mac mini on the other hand.... yes, refresh, just because its consumer level..

Can someone explain to me the criticism of Apple not updating their line of macs? I know they haven't done a redesign of the body in a while, I'm also aware their iMacs still ship with standard hard drives, but don't they update their processors and other bits yearly? As well as adding features (depending on your preference) like the force touch trackpad? What aren't they updating that people want? I'm genuinely curious.
I love when they do changes to the body because they usually design something that is in a class of its own, but I'm more concerned about the internals, personally. I do web/graphic design and I'm running an early 2014 15in MBP with the base i7 and I couldn't be more happy with it. It seems they've reached a point of refinement rather than revolution. I'm fine with that, but a lot of people don't seem to be.
Maybe I'm missing something, so I do hope someone can fill me in on what they aren't doing that people would like them to do (realistically).
Thanks in advance!j

Maybe the displays are gone but there are also indications it may come back.

We won't know until after the presentation.
The only other products I could see being updated are the Apple display and maybe iPods - but Apple doesn't really care for them anymore.
Hopefully, they won't have that woman with a St. Bernard's haircut screeching out another 'song'.
What was her name? 'Cyst'?
My big wonder is about the air. Killed, updated, or left as-is as a low cost option?
For the last few months, developers have no longer submitted fully compiled binaries. They've submitted the bit code instead. Apple can compile the binary code to the specific CPU architecture. So if Apple were to drop Intel and move to in-house chips, developers wouldn't need to recompile or even resubmit their applications.
I hope they go on sale before Oct 31, that is my last date to submit to work for this year and I have saved a good portion of my money for a new iMac and laptop. Don't screw this up Apple.
Announcing new Macbook Pro with no ports except the usb-c port for charging. It took a lot of courage on our part to remove all the ports. We see that there is no need of any port as keyboard and mouse are part of the macbook pro. Extra storage is available on iCloud. Any additional hardware (is there even any need of that?) can be connected via bluetooth. But in case you want, you can purchase Apple usb hub that can be plugged into usb-c port for 129.99$.
I just spent another few hours with a new MacBook (cleaning off AdWare mostly. Watch it everyone, I went years and years without seeing a single piece of Mac malware; now it is actually *rare* for me to work on one that doesn't have some form of adware installed.)
If the new machines actually have that MacBook keyboard that's a total non-starter for me. It's truly ghastly. I suppose if you aren't a good touch typist it might not make a big difference, but it's the single most important part of a computer's productivity for anyone that types well. I've never, ever, typed on anything as bad as that keyboard apart from really cheap membrane-style keyboards. It's really just that bad. Putting a keyboard like that into a piece of "pro" equipment would be a travesty. (At a guess the fastest I could *ever* type on it would be, maybe, 75% as fast as on the current MBPro keyboards).
Removing the Magsafe charging plug is also a mistake, from a consumer point of view. I'm sure it works great for Apple though; "Oh, you tripped over the cord and pulled it off the desk? That will be $2000 please....) I can't express enough how many laptops that MagSafe adaptor has saved in the Education sector.

For me, its outdated GPU and CPUs and still charging the same prices as when these machines were last refreshed. The CPUs are a couple years old. Apple skipped the prior Intel CPU before Skylake.
There's zero value for money in these current line up of laptops.

Yes, MAS developers and those that care like L&L Scrivener, but the bug softwarehouses like Adobe and Microsoft will be super slow or will simply refuse to do so.
Not to mention no more Windows - which is necessary for some of us.
Isn't that what the person you quoted said...? It also clearly references the 1998 iMac, where the slogan was also "hello again".
Said the wife to her husband who decided to stop beating her for a bit: "I'm so grateful".
I have lot of doubts about mac pro..and minis (not that I use minis)...but...
I just came across this a moment ago
Would you guys think that they might try to update everything to use this feature? I know there are others things to consider...but this one particular feature.
Edit: wait a minute...i think MP 2013 are able to do that, huh?

And many will be forced to ditch Apple.I'm saying it: They will ditch Intel
That's true. But I believe that they've been working with Microsoft to have a native-ARM version of Windows. Not that watery Windows RT. I also believe that if this was the case, MS will be using Apple's CPUs in their next version of the Surface.
Holy crumbs, when I say it out loud, I really do sound crazy. Please don't quote this when I'm proven to be biblically wrong.
Mark my words, the new iMac will be called the Mac again. That's why it's hello, again.
Couldn't resist quoting! I think it's possible that Apple has worked with Adobe (less likely for Microsoft) to have their suite ready for Apple ARM, but I don't think there's a chance Apple would allow anyone else to use their ARM chipsThat's true.

One could argue that Apple doesn't really care about any of their products anymore..... except watch bands!
