As noted in the MacRumors Buyer's Guide and discussed in the MacRumors forums, it has now been 602 days since Apple last updated its iMac lineup, a new record for the longest span between iMac refreshes ever. The previous record was 601 days between October 2015 and June 2017 refreshes. - Joe Rossignol, MacRumors

Ouch. Just as I was spit-balling the future of the Mac Pro, Apple has let another computer rot in the supply chain. Apple's major press-opuses should be relegated to only large scope updates, and frequent refreshes with much less fanfare, assuming this is even a bottleneck. Really though, we should see nearly yearly updates with CPU and/or GPU refreshes to keep in step with PC manufacturers. This isn't even a particularly astute observation or even remotely original. I'm guessing this has more to do with maximizing profit vs. the hassle of changing the magical JIT manufacturing. It's not a hopeful sign if even Apple's signature desktop has been given the cold shoulder. There's a feeling among the Mac faithful that Apple doesn't care about the Macintosh. With numbers like these, it's easy to see why.
