Anyone else going to watch? I'm not expecting much, mostly looking forward to seeing if they change anything with IOS.

It seems the new iMac Pro is the Mac Pro successor, starting at $4999.
Update: The base model is only 8 cores and 32GB, poor value.
No information provided, but I'm hoping for a real Mac Pro successor in the future.
$349.... It's almost like they had to 'upcycle' all those mac trash can cases to recoup costs from all those failed sales!lol that speaker price is so dumb
lol that speaker price is so dumb
It's like Apple feels the need to try pricing themselves out of every market, just so they can pretend to be more premium.

This is Apple Price Land, and here, the numbers stop making sense early on. The current buyable i7 5k iMac with 32GB and 1TB is $3700. So the iMac Pro base is *only* $1300 more for the cores and the GPU and oh yeah space grey. Apple's RAM and storage upgrades are always stupid expensive, and the storage is a warranty-breaking pain/risk to mess with so if you want that 1TB you gotta get it at purchase time.I think they finally did a lot of overdue updates.
EDIT: So according to Apple and their specs listed so far, the iMac pro is "only" a 5K display that supports P3, with an 8-Core Processor Base, 1TB SSD, 32GB of RAM and a single Vega GPU. https://www.apple.com/imac-pro/specs/
I would say the $5k asking price is just far too high then. That means upgrading to 128GB of RAM or 16GB graphics card, 10/18 Core processor, and or bigger SSD is even more on top of that. This isn't going to make sense for anyone really outside of a production house or people with a lot of money.
I think $3500 or even $4k is much more reasonable then. That just from $4000 to $5000 is really significant, and I think as a result it's just priced out of what makes sense... and once again, that's just for the base model! For the time being then, I think it makes more sense to go the route I said and just buy a regular iMac with an eGPU unless there is something that you do that requires more cores.

I have a 2015 iMac 5K loaded (with 64GB aftermarket) and I got it used for $3200. Over 1/3 of that is the 1TB SSD and the 64GB RAM add-on (which when the original owner put it in it was about a $900 kit).

It does have the video bandwidth for 5K 60 Hz over a single port, right?
