A little under a year ago, Apple tried to assuage everyone’s fears that it had given up on the Mac Pro for good. At the time, it said the device wouldn’t arrive until 2018 at the earliest, and gave us the beastly iMac Pro to whet our appetites in the meantime.
Now the company has made it clear we won’t get our hands on the top-of-the-line, modular Mac Pro until 2019.
The company recently invited TechCrunch back to its campus to discuss the new Mac Pro, and Apple’s strategy for creating the new device. The entire piece is worth a read if you’re someone waiting for the new Pro, but the key takeaways are as follows:
Apple’s placed a particular emphasis on external GPUs of late, and we’ve seen some cool concepts – but right now it’s anyone’s guess what shape the final product will take. I think it’d be difficult for the company to get away with a product that isn’t modular in a traditional sense – expandable memory, swappable video cards, etc. On the other hand, Apple’s history suggests it’ll probably include some zany design elements.
If we’re lucky, it’ll be some combination of the two.
