Apple's committed to 'great desktops,' Tim Cook tells employees

From CNET: Tim Cook is apparently trying to dispel the feeling that Apple has abandoned the desktop.

Though the company released an overhauled MacBook Pro laptop in October, it's been years since much of its Mac lineup of desktops has been updated. That has led to pessimism among the Mac faithful that Apple has forsaken the desktop.

Not true, Cook told employees through postings to an internal message board.

"Some folks in the media have raised the question about whether we're committed to desktops," Cook wrote in a posting obtained by Techcrunch. "If there's any doubt about that with our teams, let me be very clear: We have great desktops in our roadmap. Nobody should worry about that."

While Apple detailed its new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar at an event in October, its lack of news about any other new hardware products didn't go unnoticed.

After all, the last iMac update came in late 2015, while the Mac Mini was last updated in October 2014. The Mac Pro, Apple's powerhouse canister Mac desktop computer, made its debut three years ago but hasn't been updated since.
