Apple Mac Pro design was a bad bet, admits firm - BBC News
Timely, I guess based on the updates mentioned above.
Just an excerpt of the article.
Quote:
Apple has acknowledged that the design of its standalone desktop computer, the Mac Pro, restricted its ability to update the model.
The firm has announced a limited refresh of the machine, the first time it has upgraded its innards since 2013.
But it said it would not be able to release a "new model" until an unspecified point after 2017.
The tech firm had faced criticism that it was not addressing the needs of its professional users.
It released a new line-up of MacBook-Pro-branded laptops in October, but was attacked for not including more powerful graphics cards in them and for removing several of the ports found in earlier models.
One expert said the latest announcement would reassure graphic designers, video editors, scientists and other power users that Apple was not abandoning them to focus on iPads and iPhones, which outsell the Macs.
