> The trashcan Mac Pro desktop was heavily promoted to tech journalists They had one meeting where they told journalists they were not going to abandon the pro market space. This was when the trashcan had been out for a long time. Too long in fact. > The intention was to signal pros to hang in there, and then the trashcan got released No, the trashcan was released way before that meeting. One of the things discussed in the meeting was limitations of the trash can form factor.

> No, the trashcan was released way before that meeting I'm afraid you're referring to yet another Mac Pro marketing push that came later (for the 2019 "Lattice" / cheese grater redux version). I just looked up the dates & it lines up with my recollection and initial comment: the previous refresh (pre-trashcan) was in 2010. The Final Cut "Pro" X release that frustrated video professionals came out in 2011 and the trashcan itself was finally released in 2013. A lot of loyal video pros abandoned Apple for the Adobe/PC ecosystem in that era.
