Despite being foreshadowed (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/10/next-generation-apple-mac-pro-eyes-on-at-wwdc-2013/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) by Tim Cook as a product the company was going to make in the US, it was virtually carted in from left field at an event that focused broadly on new operating systems before a crowd of developers that could appreciate its power. That said, it will likely require OS X Mavericks, a thematically fitting release for a product that represents a new wave in Apple's design.
Some have said that iOS 7 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/10/ios-7-announced/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) may be the company's New Coke. The Mac Pro, though, is the new can. Its cylindrical form represents a new design for Apple, albeit one that jibes with the company's affinity for simple, rounded, iconic shapes. Like the new AirPort Extreme, it has a significant vertical profile, but is a fraction of the size of its predecessor designed to accommodate multiple optical drives and hard drives.
