So, no more creating your own ringtone and uploading it to your phone? There are still apps where you use iTunes to push documents to it, those are now toast. Not a fan.

Except with macOS 10.13 and iOS 11 you will be able to use the Files app to "push" documents to your iOS devices. Isn't that a lot easier?

The new App Store icon is a bit more fitting. The prior icon was based on the old AppleWorks suite. The App Store represents a lot more than just paint and drawing apps.

Future HomeKit lock?

Very possible. Steve Jobs did publicly "beta test" the presentation app Keynote for a long time before they launched it to the public.

With 10GbE on board, the lack of internal storage upgradability is mitigated, for me, at least. I don't want to keep all my work on my Mac indefinitely, but being able to quickly transfer 150GB over from a NAS will make it easier to restore backed-up or server-stored work.

Hell, I could probably work straight off 10GbE 99% of the time and stay productive.

I love the Black Mac.

I imagine you meant 150TB? 150GB serves very little in the needs of a professional. 

I agree that this is indeed very much a pro computer. As a filmmaker, this has enough horsepower to be a complete monster in many aspects of
post production. For those complaining about lack of internal storage, you would never rely on internal storage for any post production and has good enough I/O for external options. 

My editor completed a feature length documentary (with heavy use of Multicam) on a 2011 iMac with 32 GBs of RAM, and I watched the dailies on my 2015 MacBookPro (with 16 GBs of RAM, in Premiere, so Multicam intact) and you know what, aside from the numerous bugs we ran into with Premiere, we completed everything in less than four months with next to no hiccup! Don't tell me we are not working professionals because we are. It's been tested over and over again that the latest MacBookPro's are more than sufficient at nearly anything you throw at them.
