    Nice article, and I applaud AI for finally, finally broaching the topic. If any staff at AI actually get a one-on-one with Cook, please, please try and pin him down with more than the the MM is “in our future.” C’mon, I’ve been an Apple fan for decades but why can’t you update the MM. Give us something, anything! This is getting ridiculous!
    Agreed.   The Mini should have the current iMac (not the iMac Pro) compute and peripheral connectivity, just minus the screen, keyboard, and pointing device.   Staying true to  the vision that this is a computer for people who have their peripherals (the 'switchers'), or don't like it when an 'allin1' is 'allindead' when one component breaks. 

    so the baseline for non laptops:
    Mac Mini  (fast) / iMac (fast)
      (basically the same chip/mem/storage, and ideally all the 'stuff' that makes a mac a mac for that year's version of desktop bliss.


    iMac Pro (faster, maybe the nicest single screen option)
    Mac Pro  (fastest, most expansionistically capable, massive screenage drivers)

    this parallels the   MacBook and Mac Book Pro.

    They must be losing subscribers at a spectacular pace to stoop this low. On the other hand, competition is always good.
    yes, but I think the reason is the snail slow AT&T fiber deployment, and the gawdawful uVerse... They would rather saturate their LTE backhaul shorterm,  than lose customers to Verizon FIOS.   Plus the 'free' option will likely drive people to unlimited Premium which is $50/month
