Apple has made it almost impossible for third party resellers. It's a shame, because they do a very poor job servicing vertical sectors and educational institutions themselves. They've left a lot of money on the table and many customers wanting because of a greed to take it all themselves. Oh and I personally think the customer service in most Apple stores is horrendous. If you like mingling with hordes of tire kickers and half witted sales folks, it's your place. Otherwise, not so much.

Sorry, there is simply no excuse for Apple not updating core products like the MacPro and Mac Mini.  They are leaving money on the table.  They are not innovating.  The PC is not dead.  The Microsoft Surface Pro is more compelling than any iMac in the last three years.  Come on Apple, you are leaving your customers high and dry.

Why don't any of these docks offer more than 2 Thunderbolt ports?  It really doesn't buy you much as one has to be used for the input.  I'd like to end up with an ADDITIONAL TB3 port when I'm done.  

Sorry, BIG YAWN.

Apple is supposed to be the leader in innovation.  These updates are mostly bug fixes and logical minor updates to the current OS.   Even if we ignore hardware, this is less than exciting.  Swift is nice, but it's a cross platform world, what is being done to allow Swift on other platforms?  What is Apple doing in the Cloud?  They have these mega server centers, and compared to say Microsoft and Amazon, I don't see what they are being used for.  

I am an Apple fan since 1984, but this is getting to be too much status quo, and nothing really innovative.  Personal computing is changing rapidly, but Apple seems to be stuck.  And yes, we want to hear about new hardware, iPhone 7, iWatch 2, etc.  How about an update to the Mac Pro, or the Mac Mini?  Both are long in the tooth.  This slow, nothing really new progress is not what I have come to expect from Apple.  Hopefully more substantive announcements are in the wings.
