Sorry I wasn’t very clear. Hearing that Apple will produce only iMac Pro as the sole iMac product line.

The iMac Pro is just that, a high end product for the users

that really need that significant amount of horsepower and

at a base price of around $5000 is well out of reach of many

mainstream iMac buyers considering the current base model

27" 5K iMac is $1800.


As to the future of the current iMac line, only Apple knows.

But again, that leads to a paradox. If the iMac Pro is the only iMac, when what is the point of the "Pro"?


For a Time, there was only a MacBook Pro, but that was because Apple discontinued the old design of the MacBook before replacing it with a brand new design. I think it is perfectly reasonable that Apple is going to redesign the iMac at some point. As part of that they will discontinue the old design. You can't buy a Ford Fairlane anymore, but that doesn't bother people. I suspect a future, redesigned iMac won't bother people much either.
