a shitty plastic box with off the shelf parts inside it like everyone else. 

Is that what this is?

I mean, I'm a Mac user through and through, but man if my livelihood counted on render times more than it does now, I'd probably be strongly considering biting the bullet and getting one of these to get my work done.



I'm optimistic that Apple is aware of these issues by now and did not go into this Mac Pro thing to half-ass it, but we'll see soon enough I guess.

You've got to be kidding! Sure, anyone would expect the Mac Pro to handle better than what most expect but Adobe's Creative Suite is NOT something Apple should FIX their Macs to work well with. It's the software developer's responsibility to make sure their products work efficiently with both MacOS and Windows. If you disagree with that then you're an Apple hater, because I find your post to be highly one-sided and unfair.

I can't believe how long it takes one of the most valuable companies in the world with near endless resources so long to make a computer when they've been in the computer making business for over 40 years. It's so embarrassing. Pointless iterations of iPhone after iPhone because they sell well. The computers might sell a bit better if they updated them once in a while 

Uh maybe because they are human and money doesn't make a human immortal sir. Think about it. Just because you think it's easy....Also keep in mind the millions of fatheads in the world Apple has to please. Imagine if you had to cater to that many people who criticize you for waking up in the morning.

Actually and to be frank e have discontinued use of Apple on all of our 4 smart LG tv’s - and the only device we now use is Roku. We found Apple device too controlling in switching devices including to the TV ... also Apples latest boxes always came on no matter when we did not even want to use them. It became unbearable - so they are all in a box waiting for the next garage sale. We are new to the Roku box but like these very much. 

Thanks for that useless post of trolling. It has nothing to do with the article.

Do these paid subscribers include people like me who get Apple Music for free through Verizon?

I would say perhaps not. Firstly not everyone has Verizon  and not everyone has an unlimited data plan which is required to get the Apple Music promo that only last 6 months anyway. 

Not anymore. They’ve extended it indefinitely as long as your plan is active.  

They are still promoting it as a 6 month freebee.
