Mac Pro: Fooled You

Starting with the MacBook Pro in February, 2006, Apple added “Pro” to the names of some of their products — Mac Pro, iMac Pro, iPad Pro. Shade tree product architects had plenty of advice: Take an iMac Pro, break it down, put its screen in a box (that’ll revive the Cinema Display we miss), add slots to the motherboard, put it in a vintage Mac Pro cheese grater case with a suitable power supply, and, voilà… A gap-filling red meat Mac Pro, a sort of Open iMac (if I’m permitted the reference) that would be a great act of contrition for the 2013 machine and the empty years that followed. Well… watching the new Mac Pro introduction at the June 2019 WWDC, I thought Apple execs must have been chuckling backstage: Fooled you!
