Many people like that idea. Probably not around here, but still.

That is unlikely to ever happen, but some updates to Files would be
welcome, though it's already quite good.

Soon, but probably not this year. Maybe the MBP.

Nope. The new Pro machine is the iMac Pro and Apple has already said the
Mac Pro will not be out this year.

There will almost certainly be a refresh to the retina iMac, but it
will not be changing the form factor, doing so would make the brand new
$5-15,000 iMac Pro look old.

Less is more this year. I am looking forward to updates to the things we
have, fixes, maybe better notifications. I want a concentration on less
wonkyness, overall.

For the iMac refresh I'd like to see better GPUs across the line instead
of forcing anyone who wants a decent GPU to buy the highest end iMac.
Not holding my breath on this one though, obvs.
