The big news out this morning from Apple’s unprecedented sit down with the press this week is the company’s plans to tear down and rethink the Mac Pro. But a few other hardware nuggets arose from that meeting, as well. Namely, the fact that the company is planning new iMacs more aggressively focused on pro users, along with a standalone display designed for use specifically with the Mac Pro.
There’s not much in the way of details for either, but as part of the company’s newfound transparency on the subject, it was more than happy to discuss – at the very least – how the products are set to slot into its overall strategy. Interestingly, both will be targeted at pro users, albeit from different angles.
The company acknowledged during the meeting that the iMac is increasingly being used by pro users – likely some combination of the all-in-one’s increased capabilities and the fact that the Mac Pro hasn’t received a fundamental upgrade in more than three years. As such, the new iMac will be getting a spec increase designed to make it even more attractive to pros, as the company works to rethink the Mac for 2018.
