During this year’s version of the Worldwide Developers Conference or WWDC, Apple unveiled a flurry of new devices along with some highly anticipated software. Apple CEO Tim Cook will open the WWDC 2017 event with a two-hour presentation. Indeed, when we were looking at it, Apple showed off some virtual reality development systems that it said will suit the power of the new computer.
Everyone has been waiting for AAPL to finally respond to Amazon.com, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Amazon Echo smart speaker.
The hardware of Apple iMac Pro 2017 comes in different versions, divided on basis of core count and memory capacity of AMD Vega GPU.
Consumers get some love with the HomePod – a Siri-equipped speaker that works with apple Music.
So yes, Apple has promised that it will be the best machine in the line-up, meaning that by definition it has to have a higher spec than the iMac Pro.
The iMac Pro supports the CPU and GPU processing power with other choice components. Though it will set you back £2,249.
Apple also updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro by bumping up the processors to the latest Kaby Lake platform.
The screen is large enough to accommodate a full size keyboard and can be attached to Apple’s smart keyboard. However, it can also be configured with a much able Core i7-7660U with frequency specifications of 2.5 to 4.0 GHz. Apple claims that its new iMac range has a 43% brighter display than its predecessor.
With the suspense over, it will be interesting how buyers of the 2017 MacBook Pro will react.
The new beefed-up iMac is meant to address the concerns of professional creatives, who until now have been limited to either the consumer 27in 5K iMac or the older Mac Pro, which hasn’t been updated since 2013. They don’t address all the complaints, but do add new seventh-generation CPUs from Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC).
The iMac Pro is a treat for professionals who were disappointed with the 2016 MacBook Pro, as the latest model of the supposed laptop for professionals dropped different kinds of legacy ports that are still being used by millions in the industry. In addition, the display is being improved. Both versions get support for additional base storage, paired with 3 USB Type-C dual Thunderbolt ports. Check the Apple website for ship dates, since the laptops may not be available immediately.
The new iPad will be priced at Rs 52,900 for the 64GB Wi-Fi variant, Rs 60,900 for the 256GB variant and Rs 76,900 for the 512GB variant.
