Wait, what do we complain about now? Of course, the fact that it has taken them so long. And then the price. Great, I woudn't be able to handle all these changes otherwise.
Wow this is a huge middle finger to those who bought the current Mac Pro. To see it only get 1 iteration before its scrapped for another design.
Tempted to return my junk LG 5K now I'm on my 4th one
WOOOW !!
A "NEW" Mac Pro.....Like a "NEW" Ipad....and a "NEW" Iphone....let me guess.....REALY faster?
Apple hasnt produced something "NEW" in 10 years! Just more of the same! And really "faster" all the way till the next software update.....

Finally some news. At least they hear the massive outcry and responded.
Remember Apple, Pro means Pro. Pro means PRO!
Of course it's coming.
Only a fool can believe Apple would really drop professionals. But they screwed the trashcan Pro, had to rebuild their strategy from scratch, and it took a lot of time.

Can we stop with this "fake news" BS. If we all stop using that term, maybe it'll go away.
Also, they didn't hold a meeting specifically to lie to their entire customer base.
Now maybe the forums will be a nice place to hang out again.
Finally someone @ Apple discovered the obvious. Now make the current PRO the new Mini ;-)
You know Apple's worried about the pro reaction when they actually give hints about next generation products.
I don't know, it would suck to buy one of the updated ones right now, but otherwise you could have had a solid four years of using it.
Now this is "courage" they can be proud of, 1) admitting that 
made a machine which did not meet the needs of the community, 2) and more importantly the mention they are redesigning the Mac Pro and a display to go with it, but these will take time.
Excellent news.

I guess they looked at their Mac results for the quarter ending April 1st
and decided they must say something...

So.. Apple waited 3 years before giving thought to a serious Mac Pro update and now it's going to take another year, so 4 years for an update? I've waited long enough for the Mac Pro 7,1. I'm in the middle of investigating / picking parts for my Hackintosh project at half the price or less. And I'm not going to wait for another year.
I don't care about the specs: Apple still cares and that's all that matter. I'm so happy they at least confirm that, yes we care about desktops and yes there are new ones coming.
I'm keeping mine. Who knows when this new display will be released and it probably won't be supported by today's hardware. So unless you plan on getting a new display and a new Mac, while also waiting an indefinite amount of time, then keep it.

Okay, there was no spec bump. They moved down the same old CPUs and GPUs into the next lower tier model, so it's basically just a price cut. The real deal is going to come next year.
Even among pro users, notebooks are by far the most popular Macs. In second place are iMacs. The Mac Pro is third. Apple declined to describe the Mac Pro’s share of all Macs sales any more specifically than “a single-digit percent”, but my gut feeling is that the single digit is a lot closer to 1 than it is to 9.
Think they really forgot that Mac mini still exists.

How long do you think it takes to design a brand new computer from scratch? But yes, they probably just and up with the idea yesterday.
