Pogue: new iMac, Mac Pro designs in 2013

David Pogue for the New York Times:

Many Apple observers also wonder if Apple thinks that desktop computers are dead, since not a word was said about the iMac and Mac Pro. An executive did assure me, however, that new models and new designs are under way, probably for release in 2013.

Some users were frustrated by Monday’s announcement and the absence of changes to the iMac and the anemic bump given to the Mac Pro. If Pogue’s intel is good, it sounds like it’s just going to be a matter of patience.

Apple understands keenly that its mobile users are driving its business, however. This is not a new trend. And that’s why you’re seeing so much emphasis on the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro this week.
