Apple to launch its redesigned Mac Pro in 2019

The highly anticipated Apple Mac Pro won't be launching this year, the company confirmed this development to TechCrunch. The Cupertino giant is instead planning to release a redesigned version of the computer in 2019.

"We want to be transparent and communicate openly with our pro community so we want them to know that the Mac Pro is a 2019 product. It's not something for this year." He added, "We know that there’s a lot of customers today that are making purchase decisions on the iMac Pro and whether or not they should wait for the Mac Pro,” said Tom Boger, Apple's senior director of Mac hardware product marketing.

Additionally, a new team called Pro Workflow will now coordinate efforts across the Apple's hardware and software teams to better ensure the end product meets the needs of the company's target audience. The workflow team, under Apple's VP of Hardware Engineering John Ternus, will also interact with pro-device users who use Apple hardware and software across graphic design, film editing, animation, and other industries.

“We want them to understand that we’re investing in new Macs — not only new MacBook Pros and iMacs but Mac Pros for them, we want them to know we are going to work on a display for a modular system," said Apple's Phil Schiller.

Amid all these, there are speculations that the Mac Pro may be the first Apple device with an ARM-based processor, as a part of its shift away from Intel chips.
