SSD storage options are now up to 50 percent faster, and iMac comes with Thunderbolt 3, the most powerful and versatile port ever.

They're a juggernaut of a team, do a great job of spacing out the floor, keeping a high tempo, and just made some big-time plays down the stretch.
At today's WWDC event in San Jose, California, Apple announced incremental updates to its iMac and MacBook Pro lineup.
It's unfortunate AMD wasn't able to lock down both halves of the iMac Pro design. The new iMacs are available for purchase now. In this article though, let us take a look at the new refreshed MacBook Pro lineup that goes on sale in the USA today.
Talking about the new MacBook, it enables support for up to 1.3 GHz Core i7 along with Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz.
Apple today also updated the 13-inch MacBook Air with a 1.8 GHz processor. The audio is also more notable thanks to four speakers.
As mentioned earlier, this iMac Pro monster which will come out by December will have (at least) three versions.
The new Apple iMac Pro releases in December and starts at $4,999 United States dollars. Since this is only a preview, Apple will undoubtedly be showing off more as the time gets closer for a retail release.
