Sure, I suppose if anyone was in absolutely urgent need of purchasing something from Apple during the 3 hours the store is down First world problems and all that.

Then you have a misconception of understanding business 101, because this is a poor practice. Anyone here knows Apple does this on purpose for marketing, let alone, you never acknowledged Amazon doesn’t need to take their store offline for XYZ amount of hours, it has nothing to do with ‘first world problems’, is everything to do with it still inconveniencing for those across the world who want to make a purchase that can’t for grandstanding causes. Case in point.

Cool.

Stay strong! It'll be back up soon.
 
I honestly wonder who would buy that. It’s literally schizophrenic design. As an example the surface pros and touch screen laptops are absolutely useless when used as a tablet.

You think the current iPad pros are absolutely useless?
 
iMac Pros are never on special price in Australia, but for the past couple of weeks, the two largest national electronic retailers; Harvey Norman and The Good Guys (JBHiFi), both had the base model at 10% off.
*My vote is Apple will introduce a new iMac and will by default - have to tweak the iMac Pro specs. That will get it out of the road before the announcement of the new Mac Pro in June.

My ideal scenario as follows.....

1. Black AirPods with upgraded functionalities as previously mentioned
2. Spec bumped iPad Mini (my kids are due an upgrade) with a significantly reduced price
3. Return of a black or grey leather loop watch band
4. AirPower
 
Part of me is thinking there wont be an iMac update, even if i'm hoping there is one. Why have they waited nearly 2 years if it's going to be a spec bump and nothing more?

Where in the context of my reply to the above post was that even implied?

MacOS as currently designed would be a terrible and mostly unproductive experience on a tablet.

Because?

IPad Pro has a bigger screen than the MacBook. And what possible difference does the form factor make when its connected to an external monitor?

If the iPad Pro could run macOS, it could replace the Mac Mini and MacBook instantly.

The iMac design is already good in my opinion, but i wouldn't mind a design change if it came along. I just wonder why its taken them 2 years to update the iMac IF it's just going to get a spec bump today (as mentioned by Mark Gurman that could happen).
