And nearly out of the Mac business.
LG UltraFine 4K Display and LG UltraFine 5K Display are UGLY. Apple could release a brand new Mac Pro (even with new design) with a brand new Apple Thunderbolt Display.
Forget the 24" displays. Apple needs to bring out a "re-imagined" 30 or 32" Apple designed display. To go with a "re-incarnated" Mac Pro tower design. The Darth Vader trash can was and is a huge mistake.
Stop dreaming about a new Apple monitor. It's not going to happen. Apple has ditched that business and handed it over to LG.
Also, I wouldn't hold my breath for a Mac Pro refresh anytime soon, or ever... Apple gives two ***** about the Mac Pro. Even if they did, Skylake Xeons suitable for the Mac Pro wouldn't be released until Q3 of 2017... in other words, it'll be far too late.
That is not too late (better late than never). Skylake Xeons suitable for the Mac Pro or Kaby Lake Xeons suitable for the Mac Pro? Which is the source (link) for that? They were released long ago even in 2015 (Skylake Server processors):

Kaby Lake Xeons suitable for the Mac Pro (Server/Workstation Processors) are expected for Q1 2017:

Thank you for pointing this out.
Intel releases a lot of chips throughout the year. Every year.
I wish more people would remember this instead of saying:
"It's not Apple's fault... Apple is always stuck waiting on Intel for chips!"
Indeed, they could.
The question remains if they will.

Actually, I love the Trash Can!
I can just unplug it from the rest of the hardware and take it with me wherever I go, in a backpack, which for me is a big, big plus - to have all that horsepower always at hand.

Hilarious, wit, sharp and… probably accurate.

People tend to overlook and forget the mistake of their love ones, including themselves.Thank you for pointing this out.

It's hard to believe that they are wrong, harder to admit and the hardest is to loose hope on that account.

Those are just rebadged i5/i7 processors using the consumer socket (1151). The fastest one is slower(!) than the high-end iMac with i7-6700K. That would definitely be a poor choice for a Mac Pro.
The real Skylake Xeons (E5 instead of E3) are yet to be released during the next year, featuring lots of cores and PCIE lanes. This workstation/server platform is usually lagging one or two generations behind.

I am not an expert with
Kaby Lake Processor
Bit reading in many places that it is a better processor so I will wait for it and hope by then Apple would have the 32GB Ram with a combo of 1TB Hard Drive . Please keep us posted .Thank you
