Here’s a surprise from Apple: The company is updating its iMac line.
The big story is a new model: the $5,000 iMac Pro, “a monster when it comes to graphics,” according to Apple.
Apple called it “the most powerful Mac” it’s ever made, a dig at the now dated cylindrical Mac Pro which looks like a fancy garbage can. The new all-in-one computer supports up to 18-core Xeon processors and a 27-inch 5K display.
