Apple hasn’t updated the new Mac Pro since its presentation at WWDC 2013, which led to the emergence of rumors about the refusal of the further development of powerful desktop computers. And really, despite the fact that Mac Pro in the cylindrical housing looks very modern, it is no longer relevant to current market conditions, and can hardly be interesting to the audience for which it was created.
Marco Arment, the famous application developer, programmer and designer who created Instapaper and The Magazine, speaks about this:
“Technology, market, people – everything changes, but in history there are some things that happen in the right time.
The world has never seen something like macOS and nothing can truly replace the operating system. Even if you will create something else, it will get definitely worse.
Apple, don’t give up on the Mac Pro, so we don’t have to make such a choice.
Other devices suitable for everyone. Almost. But please don’t turn away from those of us who want or who are looking for the best computers in the world, because the other options, except Mac, we have.”
Think about how important the Mac for the company in the current situation. Basic income, according to the report Apple company iPhone brings and services. No matter how beautiful was not the Mac, only smartphones come to the market on schedule.
In order to make the Mac relevant, the company should solve the problem with the supply of Intel processors. The last few years, this was a serious problem, even on the side of Xeon chips. Last year, Apple did not manage to get a new processor, and, accordingly, has not updated the laptops to the presentation.
It should be noted that Apple tried to equip the Mac Pro is the most advanced at that time hardware – users can not upgrade the video card, RAM or driver for two several years. The futuristic design of the computer (which for the eye is called a “box”) is also loved by many. Now, however, “Proshka” requires a radical renewal, because the work of many people using a Mac Pro, is to perform demanding tasks that require advanced equipment. Of course, Apple timely update the drivers for your components, but not enough to maintain the status of “the most powerful computer in the world.”
It is likely that Apple just don’t have time to update everything at once. Three years ago we got a new Mac Pro. Two years ago we revealed the global update of the iMac with 5K support. Last year we received the innovative MacBook. In this year there was a MacBook Pro. It is hoped that next year will be a time for global update Mac Pro and Mac mini.
