As part of doing a next-generation Mac Pro, Apple will be adopting a modular system that its pro customers have been yearning after ever since the company debuted the current trash bin design more than three years ago. While it's going to take longer than this year to do such a system, German magazine Curved has created renderings imagining a modular Mac Pro and an edge-to-edge Apple display.

I like my desk to be clean, and as minimalistic as possible. This of course includes what's on my desk, but also what shows on my computer screen when I'm not actively using it. This is why for the past few months I have opted to use minimalist clock screen savers on my Mac.
Surprisingly, there aren't many options that meet my basic criteria of simplicity and minimalist beauty, but I did find a few that I'll share with you.

In this piece, we’ll talk about some of the best VPNs for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
In addition to his assertion that Apple has been working on additional MacBook Pro models sans TouchBar, OSNews' managing editor Thom Holwerda also heard from people in the know that all-new iPad and Mac integration could be in the works, too. As part of its planned pro-oriented feature enhancements, Apple is reportedly considering allowing users to hook an iPad Pro up to a Mac so that the tablet can be used as a Cintiq-like drawing tablet for their computer.
Thom Holwerda, managing editor of OSnews, heard from “people and sources who know their stuff” that Apple's been working on additional MacBook Pro models without TouchBar. Sources claim the decision to develop new MacBook Pros sans Touch Bar was made because Apple was taken aback by harsh criticism that professional users leveled at the latest MacBook Pro models.
Apple has confirmed it's working on a completely rethought, highly modular Mac Pro that won't arrive this year. Thom Holwerda, managing editor of OSNews, is not entirely convinced that the machine will ship next year either.
After talking to people and sources “who know their stuff”, he now suspects we won't see the new Pros before late 2018 or early 2019 given how long it takes to develop a new desktop like a Mac Pro.
Keep in mind that his comments appear to be derived from anecdotal evidence, meaning you should take the story with a grain of salt.
Apple's most affordable Mac starts at just $499. Described as a BYODKM desktop computer (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard and Mouse), it's just an inch and a half tall and weighs 2.6 pounds.
They're calling it Mac mini and it comes with four USB 3 ports, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, HDMI video output, Gigabit Ethernet, an SD card slot and more.
The next Mac mini “won't be so mini anymore.”
That's according to a source, cited by the Pike's Universe blog, that's usually “pretty accurate”. The comment suggests that Apple's next flagship Mac mini model could feature a taller chassis in order to accommodate for more powerful hardware.
Apple is working on a “completely rethought” Mac Pro model with a highly modular design, slated for release in 2018, that should cater to the needs of its most-demanding pro users. As confirmed by company executives earlier this week, its engineers are also developing an external display that will launch at some point next year, too.
According to the Pike's Universe blog, the rumored Apple-branded display will feature a massive 8K resolution, giving it twice the pixels of a standard 4K screen and sixty percent more pixels than the 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display.
