  • Pro Display XDR works on iMac Pro at 5K, not 6K

    The current iMac Pros are old in computer years, so this doesn't surprise me. My XDR arrives in January. Can't wait to pair it in 6K with my 16-inch MBP.
    This is exactly the problem.   Apple simply lets its “pro” hardware languish for way too long turning them into bad buys.   There are few rumors yet but I’m really hoping we see a new iMac Pro early in 2020!    Chip technology has advanced significantly and it isn’t just TB3 controllers.  An iMac Pro built around AMDs Thread Ripper technology would be amazing. IMac might not be able to handle the highest end Thread Rippers but with in a reasonable power budget Intel can’t compete.  

    Pro aaa my a pipe dream but the fact remains IMac Pro is due for an update.   Hopefully the new Pro team at Apple will address the mechanical issues that make iMac Pro too much of a pain in the ass for pros.  Specifically RAM and SSD access.  
    Why nobody remembers that iMac Pro is actually just updated in 2019?

    Also, that update came alongside those 2019 iMacs which are compatible with Pro Display XDR.

    They definitely had a chance to upgrade the Thunderbolt component this year.
