It is evident that if there is a Mac that has not received any update for a long time, this is the Mac Pro and Apple knows it, so yesterday afternoon they spoke about it by implementing small changes in the current models and explaining that for 2018 a Mac Pro is expected, more configurable and adaptable to professional users. With this, what Apple intends is to clarify that they are attentive to these products despite the fact that their star products are the iPhone and iPad, but they are also thinking about future plans and also announce the return to the manufacture of their monitors, possibly leaving aside current LG.
These are the news that Apple is currently adding to current teams waiting for the update of a Mac Pro for 2018 in which more radical design changes and others are expected. Changes confirmed by daring fireballl on current computers are:
- The $ 2999 model has gone from having a 4-core Xeon CPU to 6 in addition to migrating its dual GPU AMD G300 to the dual G500
- The $ 3999 model goes from a 6-core to 8-core CPU and dual GPU from the D500 to a D800
So Apple with its marketing director Phil Schiller at the forefront of this news, imply that they do not want to put aside the Macs despite the more than 3 years that they have not touched this most professional and powerful equipment that they have in your product catalog. In addition to this update to the Mac Pro, Apple plans to re-manufacture its own monitors and announces that this year 2017 users will be able to enjoy new iMac. In short, a direct nod to the Mac range that was somewhat out of the sight of those in Cupertino despite renewing the MacBook Pros not so long ago with their Touch Bar. Hopefully Apple doesn't take too long to launch these new Mac.
