Apple will be introducing new iMacs in 2017 with spec bumps that will make them even more attractive to pro users. (

Talking to journalists in what appears to be a bid to convince pro users that Apple hasn't forgotten about them, Apple VPs Phil Schiller, Craig Federighi and John Ternus revealed that the company is completely
rethinking the Mac Pro with a new design planned for some time in 2018.
It was also revealed that because the
Mac Pro in its current form hasn't been meeting the needs of many pro users, some pros have turned to the iMac instead, and as a result Apple intends to provide those users with an update to the iMac designed to suit them later this year.
"So many of our customers were moving to iMac that we saw a path to address many, many more of those that were finding themselves limited by Mac Pro through a next generation iMac," Federighi said.
Apple has put "a lot of our energy behind" this new iMac, according to Federighi.
According to a
report on Pike's Universum, here, the new pro iMacs could offer Xeon processors, up to 62GB RAM, faster SSDs, and AMD graphics. Read more about the rumoured specs of the new machine below.
News of Apple's renewed focus on the Mac, with the upcoming new iMac and Mac Pro redesign, will be a relief to those who were thinking that the company had turned its back on the Mac in favour of the iPhone and iPad, which account for much more of its business.
Those users had reason to be concerned. The Mac Pro hasn't been updated since 2013 (although Apple is now offering a spec bump and a price cut following the news of its renewed interest in the Mac).

Similarly Apple's last iMac update came back in October 2015, when it introduced a
Retina-class screen resolution to the smaller Macs for the first time and equipped the larger models with new Skylake processor chips.
Before that, you had to go back more than two years - if you don't include the
cheaper iMac which Apple launched in June 2014 - to the
last proper new iMac update, in September 2013, when Apple added Haswell processors, new graphics, next-gen Wi-Fi and faster PCIe flash storage options.
When will new iMacs be launched?
We know that Apple is planning to release new iMacs later in 2017 but we can only guess when at the moment.
Apple's yearly cycle is built around three major press events: autumn - usually September (new iPhones and iPads); spring - usually March (new iPhones and iPads, sometimes MacBooks and watches); and summer - usually June (WWDC - operating system updates, and occasional hardware).
