This doesn’t really make sense. Does it not suggest the iMac Pro isn’t selling very well? Anyway I hope it is selling well because I’m going to need a modular Mac Pro at some point, and if Apple has bad sales on pro computers they’ll stop producing them altogether.
I went to a iMac Pro event at Apple NZ last night. The feedback from everyone (Apple Resellers) was that the iMac Pro is an awesome machine, but most of their customers were waiting to see what the new modular Mac Pro brings before they make decision which way to go. It guess that is why apple doesn't usually reveal what they are working on before it is released, and could explain the discounts.
