If there's no release by June 2019 I think I'm done with any Mac Pro and I've been with Apple since Quadra950. Not even close to the same company, same programming...
Got a tip for us?

There's no indication that the iMac Pro is going to be refreshed this year or if it is a one off product.
I think they always intended to update the Mac Pro but the complaints made the iMac Pro an interim solution. There wasn't exactly an incredible amount of R&D needed to take an existing iMac and add in new cooling and workstation grade hardware.
[doublepost=1550083200][/doublepost]Agreed, as soon as my SE no longer functions due to software compatibility, it will be my last Apple product.Yawn. This is the most boring pipeline I’ve ever seen from a company this size. So little to focus on, so little is coming to see the light of days.
In the meantime the competition is overhauling their whole line up with better offerings and lowering the prices of their older products (something what’s fair to the customer).
We will probably see same form factor iMacs (with hopefully less bezel and bigger screens).
iPad mini with same form factor according to rumors (if true, it’s a scam).
Incremental updates to software (if dark mode is the defining upgrade to iOS)
At last AirPower probably too expensive for what it does.
And of course the long awaited macPro. The only thing special about that will be it’s price. You won’t have seen such an expensive piece of “art” ever before.

If Apple is able to introduce an iPhone se with an all screen front and same form factor at the same cost (of course better chip inside, more ram and better camera). It will be a hit.
But Apple won’t
A funny thing happened to Apple's products on the way to success, form follows function comes to mind, i.e. the protruding camera lens...

Whatever....! For the iPad Mini 4, these rumors of a new release continues every year since 2015! September 2019 Mini 4 will be 4 years old. Apple does not care! If they do update, they will make an inferior, cheap junky budget model with limited RAM and 2-3 year olds components inside anyways! It is already 2-3 years old and becoming obsolete when it is release! LOL!

What an extremely narrow minded view. Just because you can't use it in a very specific line of work, doesn't relegate it to being a toy in any general sense. You are free to view it as a toy to you, but it is far too capable of a device to be objectively considered a "toy".
You can rest assured that IF there comes a new MacPro, it will arrive in October at earliest. You will be underwhelmed for sure and you could build the same hackintosh for a fraction of the price. Also you’ll have no certainty of future support for that MacPro. That’s the cost of an Apple logo these days.If there's no release by June 2019 I think I'm done with any Mac Pro and I've been with Apple since Quadra950.

If you run a business it won’t be a safe investment.
Pro use case, yes. Willing to pay over $10,000 for a machine that meets my needs, no.
Not that I care anymore. Apple doesn't want high end computer users as customers and they've all moved on. If you're a pro, you can't trust Apple as a source for tools essential to your business and that's been clear since the long wait before the iTrashCan came out. It was painful, but the pros have moved on and are not coming back, ever.

RAM, storage, video, etc will be "modular" in the sense that they are proprietary Apple modules, and I will be surprised if they're not more than 10 times the price of the same hardware from any other vendor. That's a crippling flaw as far as "pros" are concerned.
Schiller never said to expect a Mac Pro in the first half of 2018.
Here are two updates from 2018:

It's coming this year. I am guessing we'll see something at WWDC but it could be another hardware-centric event in the fall — who knows for sure.
If $10,000 represents more than 5% of your annual income then you probably are not the target. If you are a pro you can claim it on your income tax assuming you are American.
The best things that can be done with the Mac brand right now, but will never be done.
What I want to see updated is the Macbook and Macbook Air. The new Air is so unimpressive that my guaranteed buy has been delayed. I would've settled with the Macbook if they updated the keyboard. If this year proves to be another year of disappointment, I guess I'll just hand-me-down my MBP to my parents. But I'm really not in the market for a $$$ MBP if I can help it for another few years.
I will definitely buy whatever looks most attractive between the iPad Mini and the iPod Touch. My 3rd gen Touch and my 3rd gen iPad are getting really outdated. I have found my iPad is pretty redundant for me but I still really love the form factor of the Touch. But if it's massively crippled in terms of specs, I'll go with the Mini.
Not particularly interested in macOS 10.15, as I'm still using some 32 bit apps. I'm still hanging on to the non-subscription Adobe suite and a discontinued Mac App I really really love to use. So I don't plan to install.

iPad line is now confusing. And iMac update would be postponed further? Those things are not sales attractive.
Running on a Mac is much cheaper than on a PC. All the apps I bought 6 years ago for pennies, still function now without paying any monthly subscriptions. PC is a no go in terms of workload, workflow, networking and it will cost 3 times more in the long run. The needed upgrades are a 4k capable GPU and fast I/O. CPU is ok, SSD might only improve boot time as I see it. A new MP with all the latest tech and ports is a much better way to spend money on.
Well, I myself am interested in only three things:
iPad Mini
iPhone SE 2
MacBook Pro 15" without that stupid Touchbar. And with the option for matte display. I still don't get it - Pro machine (supposed to be) and no option to buy it without the glossy screen. I am still very happy with my 2010 MBP with the matte screen. Will need to replace it soon - most likely with the 2015 model. If I get over my fear of Staingate...
I get my hopes up but I'm afraid that only the iPad Mini will come this year...

My gut says there is no need for a new version so don't hold out for anything other than a price drop.. I am looking for a 64 GB 4th Gen used. I have only a 1080p OLED so don't need HDR. That being said I would get the 5th gen 32GB if there were a sale on it. So 64 gig 4th gen used or 5th gen 32 GB on sale are equally good options.
