The Mac Pro used to be the cornerstone of any good creative business. However, fans of the range have had to sit on the sidelines as the iMac has muscled into its territory. Whilst the iMac was given a major overhaul last year the Mac Pro was given the smallest of upgrades in June with a slight improvement in processors and built in RAM.
The update did not include the very latest processors, Thunderbolt or even USB 3.0 and this lead many of the traditional Mac Pro’s fan base to wonder what the future of the model was. Doubts increased when Apple had to stop selling the Mac Pro in Europe due to a law requiring more stringent electrical laws.
However, perhaps it was Apple’s decision to let the old model die out rather than to simply alter it that perhaps gives a true indication of what their plans were. It’s been almost 3 years since the Mac Pro was significantly updated and rumours are rife that a new model is on its way.
Whilst the rumour mill has been unable to clarify whether the replacement will be a tower like its predecessor, predications are that the new model could be with us as early as this month. Although, with Apple’s WWDC 2013 being held in June, many are putting their money on this being the time when Apple will announce the Mac Pro replacement.
Regardless of whether the new model is launched in April or June we are sure that there will be many diehard fans that will welcome a new Mac Pro with welcome arms.
