Learning that this Survey went out yesterday is F#%$ing depressing. That's a pretty good sign that they're not anywhere near announcing the damned thing. I've been waiting forever to get this new friggin' mac pro, and it's starting to feel like they're jerking my chain. It's as if they're pushing it further and further away, to get more people to invest in their other Mac's, simply buying time to where a new Mac Pro won't be so important.
I know you said 2019, but I at least held out hope that you'd announce it by year end. Leaving the availability of it shipping in 2019. Now it just feels like it's forever away. WTF, you'll announce in 2019 when..?? and then actual shipments will be another 6 months later ??? UGHHHHH !!!
YOU ARE APPLE .... IT DOESN'T TAKE OVER 2 YEARS TO FINALIZE A DESIGN, YOU HAVE THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD......
I have no confidence in Apples Mac engineering commitments. In fact the current state of Mac hardware is disgusting and Mac OS development is pretty pathetic too. I'm really hoping for some earth shattering developments at this hardware release show. If not I may have to transition completely away from Mac and possibly all Apple products. Some of Apple hardware is so outdated that there really isn't a valid excuse. Even if they switch to ARM there is no justification for the stagnation.
The only things significantly out of date are the Mac mini, which by all indications should arrive this Fall, and the Mac Pro which we should expect next year. Everything else is within their normal upgrade cycles, and we should see new MacBook and iMac this fall as well in line with those expectations. What's so "disgusting" about that?
That's because those who post on Apple tech blogs like AI are not typical of Apple customers in general so their opinions are not very useful, tend to be grossly negative most of the time, and don't reflect the real world of Apple customers.
Hmm lkrupp. Your 6,238 posts on AI demonstrate your current point well. "Caput tua in ano est".
In my circles it's known as C.R.I.S, Cranial Rectal Insertion Syndrome. And most who post here on AI suffer from it it in one degree or another.
True - but then where better to demonstrate the affliction? ;-)
