And yet, after three years, it feels like a more significant update is coming soon, and perhaps you should wait. If you work in a creative industry (animation, video, publishing), the iMac Pro is for you. Though it's not as powerful as the Pro model, that's okay since most people don't need the best and priciest internals.
