      Benjamin K Although Jony Ive likely prioritized asthetics over function, he's a designer so that's to be expected but, Ive is up there with Steve Jobs as for the reason Apple is where it is today. His minimalist and clean Asthetic design language influenced an entire industrial design Renaissance in both software and hardware. I think it had more to do with certain philosophies at Apple at the time, that Ive definitely contributed to towards removing the customer from the actual hardware as much as possible.

      When it comes to stuff meant for the consumer market, failures are expected, but for the professional market, failures like this can do so much more damage to their image.

    You fail to mention the major flaw of the 2019 Mac Pro. It’s pricing. Yes I’ve heard it all before, if you’re not made of money and can’t afford it, it’s not made for you.
    Well, what constitutes a PROfessional. Most dictionaries defines a professional as someone who makes a living from his/her profession! The vast majority of PROFESSIONALS (outside of Hollywood) can’t justify $10.000 - $50.000 for a computer, but still has the professional needs (expandability, upgradability, etc.) The 2019 Mac Pro should be called Mac Elite or something, because it’s NOT aimed at professionals!
    I predict that it will be another failure for Apple and force even more PROFESSIONALS to migrate to PC (Windows). Had apple kept the starting price at ≈ $3.000 (and refrained from selling $400 wheels), they could have sold a thousand units for each one they are going to sell.
    I see two possible futures:
    1) This is the death of Apple as a manufacturer of computers for the worlds professionals.
    2) Apple does yet another backstroke and releases a more realistically priced Mac Pro R.
    It’s my opinion that Apple hasn’t made a computer for professionals (discounting MacPros) since 2012. And still doesn’t!
    The Trash Can wasn’t a pro computer. It was a screenless iMac! The 2019 Mac Pro isn’t aimed att the professionals that has waited for it for (almost) a decade There is a huge demand for a professional Mac computer out there, that Apple seems hellbent to ignore. Many have been forced to migrate to PC and more will.
    Also, what are those who have invested $50.000 in a computer thinking when they are told, after only a couple of months, that their computer will be obsolete within a couple of years? The words that come to mind, isn’t suitable to utter in polite society.
    What will this do to Apples credibility as a whole?

      Sven Isaksson Forgive me I didn’t read the whole comment (in fact just the beginning of it) but I have two theories as to why the Mac Pro is priced the way it is:
      -Apple simply doesn’t want prosumers or regular customers to be able to afford a Mac Pro, because they don’t want those userbases to get a chonky desktop Mac.
      -They only want the richest of the rich to be able to afford the new Mac Pro because they want to kill off Intel-based Macs quickly. That MIGHT be also why they didn’t add WiFi 6 support to existing Macs, even the ones with 10th gen mobile processors which come with WiFi 6 as STANDARD. Because if they add WiFi 6 support to those Macs, it also means Hackintoshers being able to add WiFi 6 in their systems. They want as few people to hold onto their Intel-based Macs as possible.

    It may have been a sales failure, and it may have been a failure to serve pro users, but I still to this day appreciate the product for what it is.
    I appreciate the effort and creativity they put into it. It’s a very polished product (not in the literal sense).
    I think if they simply had marketed differently, like simply as a “Mac Mini Pro”, with a price tag that wasn’t so outrageously high, I think it would have done well.
    But their mistake was marketing it as a Mac Pro for actual pro consumers that need modular computers.

    I want to ask for clarification. when you say that the 2013 mac pro was the second generation, are you referring to the design or the internal hardware? If its the internal hardware, there were 6 spec refreshes from when the Mac Pro was introduced in 2006 to replace the PowerMac G5 to the trashcan.

    The 2006 Mac Pro was updated in 2007, 8, 9, and 10, and technically 12, though 2010 was the last CPU refresh. 2013 was only a year after the last update. People weren't waiting that long for an update to the Mac Pro the first time.
    The second time, though, you could still buy a 2013 in 2017, and that was sad.

    It has a special place in my heart. I love mine. Outside of gpu, it is now cheap to upgrade and not difficult if you take your time and are careful. A lot of people complain about heat, Crucial to have sufficient airflow in the bottom also, they become stuffed with dust, important to clean out, and worth the time invested to repaste all dies, mine rarely exceeds 800rpm, cannot hear it at all. Can't say that for another desktop of its class. Resale is hard to justify nowadays, but if you get it at a fair price I think it gets less credit than it deserves.

    These were and are great machines, they just never updated them. And they optimized for dual GPU when the whole industry doubled down on single GPU. The idea of these not being “upgradeable” is silly when no Mac Pro has ever actually been particularly upgradeable dude to the lack of driver support for other components. Hell, the new Mac Pro tower is likely going to be EOL’d by Apple silicon, far from upgradeable. You don’t talk about the performance anywhere which was actually quite good when it came out and it held up well for a long time and from a CPU standpoint holds up decently today. The portability is also pretty convenient. I’ve traveled with mine quite a bit. I’d love to see them do another mini Pro with Apple silicon…doesn’t even necessarily need to be modular though that would be nice. Just ship it with a better GPU.

  • @MikeDold
    @MikeDold 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I honestly think they should bring this design back but as a new category, like a "Mac Pro mini" and it can fit in the market between the Mac mini and Mac Pro. Someone who wants a desktop that's more powerful than a Mac mini and wants to choose their own video card but doesn't need all the expandability of the Mac Pro. And it needs to be priced as such as well, much cheaper than it originally was, somewhere around $1300-$1700. Have it run on the Apple Silicon chip that will eventually be in the Mac Pro and I think it would be a pretty successful product. Of course it all depends on how Apple treats the Mac Pro after it switches to Apple Silicon, because it looks like those chips won't support 3rd party video cards, but I have to assume the Mac Pro would be the exception, and if so then this Mac Pro mini could as well.

    You said people didn't want to spent Tens of thousands of dollars. They didn't. It did not cost that much. I bought the mid-grade in 2015 and it only cost about $4,000. I still love my trashcan to this very day---it is extremely powerful and runs smooth as silk. I think it would have survived if instead they treated like a Mac Pro mini, which it really fits well as a portable mac pro. I haven't had heating problems once. The G4 cube was a far bigger flop--it was only on the market a few months. And don't get me started about the Apple III, AppleTV, 20th Anniversary, and even Lisa. Those were FAR worse flops. Trashcan wasn't a flop, a lot of people bought them and more are out there than the newly far more expensive Mac Pro. I was just too early for the Thunderbolt craze. If it had come out several years later with TB3 and marketed as a MacPro mini, we'd still see them on Apple's website along with the new Mac Pro.

    Steve Jobs was such a stickler for user friendly design with the original iMac's beautiful colors and translucent case and the handle that says "it's okay to touch" even when it would add to the production cost. Having a product that people call "trash can" is the literal antithesis of that philosophy. Even 10 years later, "Apple trash can" can still create LOLs. I haven't followed Macs for a long time, so I didn't know this thing existed.

      davenz000 I don’t buy this argument. Apple has become so much richer in the last decade that, even if the percentage of the total money they own that they keep for R&D of Macs is lower, the amount of money they spend on Macs should be still higher than 10 years ago. Besides, they still make a ton of money from Macs too.

He runs multiple VM's and does a lot of system prototyping. I think the group that had issues was the TH-cam video guys. The rest just motored ahead and used the machine to make their nut.

    • @dunebasher1971
      @dunebasher1971 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You actually believed that nonsense? Seriously?
      It's bullshit.
      After all, when the Mac first came out in 1984, there was no email app available for it!
      And more to the point, hardly anyone used email in 1984. Even most employees at large companies didn't have it, unless they were tech companies to begin with.
      Email didn't start becoming commonplace until the idea of every single employee, regardless of status, having their own PC became normalised, and that didn't start happening until the late 80s. Before then, PCs were expensive enough that only the senior staff in any company tended to have them.
      And even after email became a regular thing in all workplaces, it still took until the mid-to-late 90s before significant numbers of people started buying home PCs and getting internet connections so they could use email at home.

    Actually these made pretty DAW workstations, (unless you needed PCIe slots - Pro Tools HD). Audio engineers and composers were quite happy with them. Audio apps don’t use the GPU, so the 12-core Xeon, the first workstation that shipped with a m.2 flash drive (that I know of), and the quiet fan made for a good experience overall. In fact with prices dropping on these now, a 12-core 6,1 would be an ok choice for a VEP slave if you want a Mac.

    Also, the D700 gpu version has faster graphics and the M1 models Apple currently sell ... so there is that too. We are talking a 10 year old computer has better GPU performance than the M1 Apple computers.

      This is not a how to channel.
      1. No, but you can access it over the Files app.
      2. Depends on the app you're using. Most likely you need to copy the files to your internal storage first.
      3. No.
      Overall, I recommend to rather use iCloud Drive than an SSD. 2TB of Storage is around 10€ a month, you can access it from every device and it works more seamlessly with the Files app.

It may not be really great for the high-end pro users, but if Apple can refresh it with new internals and place it as a new mid-tier model between Mac Mini and the Mac Pro tower that would be a great thing. I honestly don't need PCI expansion but I don't want the mini due to the graphic card. And I don't want iMac because I basically am never a fan of all-in-one.
