Schiller, apologizing to the pro market about the current Mac Pro, and commenting on the status of next generation Mac Pro design:
"We’re not going to get into exactly what stage we’re in, just that we told the team to take the time to do something really great. To do something that can be supported for a long time with customers with updates and upgrades throughout the years. We’ll take the time it takes to do that. The current Mac Pro, as we’ve said a few times, was constrained thermally and it restricted our ability to upgrade it. And for that, we’re sorry to disappoint customers who wanted that, and we’ve asked the team to go and re-architect and design something great for the future that those Mac Pro customers who want more expandability, more upgradability in the future. It’ll meet more of those needs."
- iMac refresh this year will supposedly accommodate some of the "pro" users as wellernexbcn
- 2018: Here have regular expensive nVidia GPUs for double the price back again.mekk

- I'll take whatever upgrades they do, that means better hackintosh support. Still no Pascal drivers I've been waiting for that to build mineernexbcn
- they don't need to reinvent the wheel, like the trashcan attempt, just stick top end components into a old mac pro case, with OS X, and reasonable price ffsfruitsalad

can't go wrong.hans_glib - Yo, designers, you like updated GPU and system drivers to increase the performance of your hardware? Do you, huh? Well fuck you.
Apple xxface_melter - They better hurry the fuck up, people are jumping ship!davey_g
- Sounds like a year out at least. It is highly unusual for Apple to even comment on anything like this, so clearly they are feeling their mistake.evilpeacock
- yep way too long wait isn't it. They will spend a year designing the shell it fits in instead of just releasing a powerful mac in a conventional box. Weird.fadein11
- I think there is more to it; They have to figure out how to manufacture it, negotiate supplies, etc. And do it profitably since 2/3rds of the money is in iPhoneevilpeacock
- I feel like with their resources, they COULD do something fast and amazing, but knowing them these days, they'll take 24 months.monospaced
- zzzzz....whatever. The ship has sailed.section_014
