David Hanak Last night, pictures from the questionnaires that have been circulating among owners of the new iMac Pro in recent days got on the web. It's sent by Apple and asks users a few things about their powerful Mac. Such surveys happen fairly regularly, in this case it may be a fairly narrowly focused survey of the market before next year, when the launch of the all-new Mac Pro is eagerly awaited.
The questionnaire includes several questions in which Apple tries to find out what features and capabilities iMac Pro users like the most, what color variant they like best, what they use their workstation for, and whether they are missing/missing any ports. In the next section, owners rate individual elements according to whether they like the device or not.

It is not entirely clear how widespread this survey is. However, it can be expected that it has to do with next year, in which Apple is expected to introduce a true dedicated Mac Pro workstation after several years, replacing the current model, which is already a few years past its hardware zenith.
Behind the development of the upcoming Mac Pro is a kind of "Pro Workflow team", which Apple has put together exactly for these needs. The novelty is to be built on a fully modular concept, and the poor interchangeability of parts that accompanied the previous Mac Pro should not be repeated.

Let's hope it won't be the "classic" brand development of recent years - find out what users need - remove it in a subsequent product and possibly offer it for an additional fee.
