The Mac Pro will rise like a phoenix from its ashes (in 2018)

New Mac Pros are coming next year. New iMacs later in 2017. I had to pinch myself.

Wow.

Apple broke with decades of tradition on April 4 to spoil its upcoming product line to a select group of Apple-focused writers — specifically, its upcoming desktop Mac product line.

We'll have more in-depth information on this change throughout the day, but in the meantime, I leave you with John Gruber of Daring Fireball's excellent interview with the Mac team:

With regards to the Mac Pro, we are in the process of what we call "completely rethinking the Mac Pro". We're working on it. We have a team working hard on it right now, and we want to architect it so that we can keep it fresh with regular improvements, and we're committed to making it our highest-end, high-throughput desktop system, designed for our demanding pro customers.

As part of doing a new Mac Pro — it is, by definition, a modular system — we will be doing a pro display as well. Now you won't see any of those products this year; we're in the process of that. We think it's really important to create something great for our pro customers who want a Mac Pro modular system, and that'll take longer than this year to do.
