NEW APPLE PRO COMING!!!!!!!

But didn't they say that months and months ago?

Did they?

Nashton
Yep, from Cook himself.

Alan Baker
Really? When was that, and what did he say?

David Fritzinger
Sorry, Alan, I hate to agree with Nashton, but Cook did "pre-announce" a new Mac Pro in 2012.

http://macpro.macrumors.com

From the article on this page entitled "Apple Planning 'Something Really Different' for New Mac Pro"

The last paragraph of the article says:

"In mid-2012, after a minor update to the Mac Pro was announced at WWDC, Tim Cook confirmed to a fan that new Mac Pros were coming in 2013, which was later reiterated by an Apple spokesman. It has also been rumored that the new Mac Pro would be the first Apple computer in years to be 'Made in the USA'."

Tim actually said he'd have something "really great" for Mac Pro owners in late 2013. His exact words were not that there would be new "Mac Pros". The spokesman confirmed the email was authentic, he didn't reiterate that there would be a new Mac Pro.

Tim:

""Although we didn't have a chance to talk about a new Mac Pro at today's event, don't worry as we're working on something really great for later next year," the Apple CEO said in an email that was confirmed authentic by Apple's public relations team to Macworld. "

Right.

"for later next year".

So it refutes the implication by the troll that because it was mentioned some time ago, that the current announcement cannot be trusted to indicate their more imminent arrival.

Their more imminent arrival, eh? Can't hide the college education, can you?

As for the tired notion of posters that like Windows better are actually trolls, what would you expect in an advocacy group? Just a bunch of Apple junkies patting each others back on a daily basis?

That's precisely what I was getting at.

Chortle.

Since the former sentence was not in English and makes no sense to anyone, I'm not surprised you were...getting at that.

Thanks.

"something" was coming later next year. It turned out to be a "Mac Mini Pro", not a "Mac Pro" as we thought of it.
