Too bad, I'd like a darker space gray design for a consumer iMac.

Retina 5K display, etc

But, the big question I'm sure everyone is asking -- will this be a big new product -- like the cylindrical Mac Pro desktop -- that gets a big launch, but then gets ignored for a few years with minimal if any updates?
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:57:33 PM
Available in December

To be fair, $4,999 for that iMac Pro is pretty great -- I've reviewed plenty of run-of-the-mill gaming laptops that cost almost that much.

By comparison, Android latest version has only 7% of people using it.
James Martin 6/5/2017 5:59:00 PM
Scott Stein 6/5/2017 5:59:06 PM
Boasting 86% installed base (which allows features that will hit more users, thus encouraging developers to try them out)
Shara Tibken 6/5/2017 5:59:14 PM
"Today we're going to take the world's best and most advanced mobile operating system and turn it up to 11."

Scott Stein 6/5/2017 6:00:14 PM
Messages now has an App Drawer, so it's no weird to find your stickers (ha)
