The Most Advanced Graphics Ever in a Mac iMac Pro comes with the new Radeon Pro Vega GPU, the most advanced graphics ever in a Mac. Available in the updated 21.5- and 27-inch iMac, Radeon Pro 500 series graphics enable extraordinary computing experiences, including stunning gaming, immersive VR on select models*, and fluid content creation with exceptional performance and support for GPU acceleration across a range of creative applications on the Mac platform, such as Adobe Premiere® Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop® and the Foundry Nuke, Mari and Modo.

That's a huge bummer, considering how sleek and much-needed a black option is.

Apple is said to put most of its focus on the MacBook Pro 2017.

MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air - As with the iMac, Apple updated the processors in the MacBook and MacBook Pro with new Kaby Lake processors running at higher clock speeds. For the iMac, significant upgrades have been announced for the basic 21.5 and 27 inch models.

Apart from iOS and MacOS High Sierra, Apple also announced the newest iteration of its smartwatch OS - watchOS 4 at WWDC 2017.

But while Apple did seem to have gone overboard with the specs, the professionals for whom the iMac Pro was made seem to be on the fence about it after the initial shock has worn off.

The iMac Pro comes standard with 32GB of 2666MHz DDR4 ECC memory, but can be configured up to 64GB or 128GB. The Mac Mini hasn't been updated in years and isn't really worth your consideration now. Workstation-Class Performance in an iMac Design Featuring next-generation Intel Xeon processors up to 18 cores, iMac Pro is created to handle the most demanding pro workflows. Metal 2 also adds support for virtual reality (VR) rendering and external GPUs which is good news.

New hit in London, which is dominated by fear, following the terrorist attack on Saturday (03/06), which resulted in eight deaths. Three attackers plowed a van into a crowd of people on London Bridge before going on a knife rampage in nearby Borough Market.

Inside the iMac Pro is where the real magic happens. As evident from its naming scheme, the iMac Pro is a high end product that is aimed at thorough professionals looking for a no-compromise machine.

Let us now move on to updates to Apple's existing product line up, shall we? It is said to support up to twice the amount of memory as the previous models.

There will also be a great deal for developers to absorb at this year's WWDC if they are contemplating new and/or improved programs or apps for upcoming machines or OS iterations. The new iMac models will be available for pre-order starting from Monday via the official Apple website. One major drawback: The MacBook only has one port, a new type of port called Thunderbolt that's used for charging the computer and plugging in accessories.

These variants of the iMac models are priced starting from $1,099 and go up to $1,799.

The goal of the iMac Pro is to provide workstation-class performance within the iMac design.

As predicted, Apple showed off an all new, 10.5-inch iPad Pro.
