The time is (finally) right for a Mac minitower
There’s been quite a bit of recent speculation about potential upcoming Apple products: TVs, watches, less-expensive iPhones, Retina iPad minis, Retina MacBook Airs, new full-size iPads … almost every Apple product line is apparently being updated, and a number of new products are supposedly on the way.
But the poor Mac Pro—the one product that hasn’t seen a significant update in years—hasn’t really received its fair share of rumor mongering. It’s almost as if we’ve given up on the old fella. (Sometimes it seems as though Apple has, too: The Mac Pro still doesn’t have Thunderbolt—a feature that’s been on the Mac mini since 2011—or USB 3.0. A 2012 update to the Mac Pro offered only minor speed and memory changes.)
What’s surprising about this is that we actually have fodder for Mac Pro gossip: Back in June 2012, Tim Cook himself all but confirmed that we’ll be seeing a new Mac Pro in 2013. Yet the only Mac Pro speculation I’ve seen recently is that the next Mac Pro might be assembled in the U.S..
Well, I’m here to say, “Let’s talk about the new Mac Pro that we know nothing about.” Because it’s been far too long since we’ve aired our pipe dreams and unreasonable expectations for what was once Apple’s flagship machine.
