No MacPro Updates....

I've been one of the people vehemently denying this and arguing against it, but it seems as though it's true. They lack of an upgrade shows that they are planning to phase out. A price drop, no USB 3, no Thunderbolt, no upgraded GPU. All they've done is dropped the slowest mode, changed the product pages slightly and lowered the prices.
This basically a big xxxx you to Mac Pro buyers and a clear sign of the direction they are taking now.
Totally agree, but there is an adaptor.
What annoys me is that if you want to run dual external screens (non apple) with a gig network, you can't, as you will need one of the TB ports, to run the ethernet adaptor
At some point tech has to move on, and Apple generally leads the way.
You're going to buy inferior laptops because of that one port? Buy a few Ethernet adapters, for crying out loud.
I refreshed the store a few seconds ago and it worked like it should, the Mac Pro had the "New"-label beside it. Though now the store is down again.
This makes sense. It seems possible that they are clearing inventory before an update but at this stage that seems unlikely. They would at least offer a new graphics card if they were going to do a full update later.
Store is still down ...but it's game over. In product descriptions already have the latest MacBook Air specs but no change to mac book or iMac specs

Exactly this. If there were new models around the corner, they wouldn't bother with a slight price drop and bump.
have you guys checked the apple website. It says 12 core starting from 3700. There was an update. Although more like a price drop then anything else.
They are there.
Look at the top right corner, no need to worry, they’re coming.

Isn't this how Apple dealt with the xServe? Just let it sit with old specs for a really long time and then disappeared it?
They didn't update the iMac, Mac Mini, or AppleTV. Are those "game over" as well?
Is it even legal to call a computer with 2 year old specs "new"? Seems misleading to me.
well looks like its imac and thunderbolt array for me.....oh wait imac wasnt updated either....ughhhh. I got a $3000 apple giftcard ive been building and now I wish I could use it on new egg to build a hackintosh.
another update, if you go to mac pro not in the store and look at features it says mac pro 3.06ghz vs the old 8 core 2.93 so there is a small clock speed update
it's a minor bump on old hardware. This is exactly how xserve got killed off...
Hold your horses - some people reporting:
"The store briefly came back up for me. MacPro had a new next to it. iMac did not. When I went to click on the MacPro it brought me back to the back soon screen."
