> "You will see us do more in the pro area. The pro area is very important to us. The creative area is very important to us in particular. Don't think that something we've done or something we're doing that isn't visible yet is a signal that our priorities are elsewhere. It's very, very important to us." Cook has been hanging around with Trump too much, as he's actually starting to sound like him.

Haha, I hate to make a comment like this, but once you pointed it out, I can't read it without reading it in Trump's voice. More on topic, I think Apple is already losing a lot of "pro" users just by not doing anything exciting with their MBPs and desktops. The current lineup is overpriced and under powered, and if I needed a new machine right now, I wouldn't go with Apple. Maybe that will change before I need to replace my 2013 MBP, but I'm not holding my breath.

  To be fair there lineup has always been overpriced and under-powered from specs to price perspective.

    Not always, at least from 2006-2010 there were few Windows laptops that were comparable on both specs and price (could get the specs for more, or the price with reduced specs). I stopped comparing them after that though, these days I'm inclined to agree but I'm pretty much sold on the platform thanks to a few pieces of software I don't want to give up yet.

    Not if you consider size, battery life etc. part of the spec. The Mac Mini was competitive in 2011/2012, especially if you let an authorised repair shop install a second drive on the cheap.

Nah, that's still a coherent thought which sticks to a central point. it's also 5 sentences instead of one long sentence that starts talking about pro users heads off on a jaunt about creating movies and finishes by saying how great the ratings for the apprentice were. I also assume cook was asked about pro users and answered, as opposed to being asked about pretty much anything else and just ranting. oh and he didn't say anything about how is the "most pro user you have ever seen" or "cares more about pro users than anyone ever" or anything like that.
