They pre-announced the previous Mac Pro at WWDC 2019, but even that was only available in December, I think. Before that, they previewed the previous Mac Pro in 2013. So, yeah. No harm in hoping but it's really rare for them to actually release new pro-branded hardware at WWDC.
- tcmart14 4y agoI think a lot of people were expecting them to because this WWDC marks 2 years since transition to Apple silicon and two years ago they said the transition would be complete in 2 years. So it begs the question, is the transition to Apple silicon "complete" since there isn't a Mac Pro with Apple silicon? Or, will Apple kill Mac Pro and the studio will be the new "Mac Pro?"
- jurip 4y agoEven if you ignore the COVID and supply chain problems — which I’d argue are pretty OK reasons for schedule slippage — they never were that clear from what point you should count the two years: the announcement or the first availability of a Mac on the new architecture. If it’s the latter, they still have some months.
