iMac Pro announced at WWDC 2017

I'm using 10.2.1 on a 5s. So the error makes no sense.

I agree. This link is more direct and shows both keyboards.

And all that said, I do like my wired version of the Apple keyboard, a lot! Better than any keyboard I could find anywhere!

The iHome numeric keypad is a nice addition for my left hand as well (also wired). Very helpful in Finale when I want to enter notes on the piano keys with my right hand and designate note values with my left.

Even has a clear key... $20?? No brainer!

Is that picture is current? Because is shows that iOS 10.2.1 isn't installed, it's just downloaded waiting for the user to approve the installation.

Installed or not, its ridiculous to require iOS 10 to use the App Store. Presumably an error on Apple's part.

I wonder if some of that is Apple's big push to shut down jailbreaking once and for all?

Maybe, but I don't know why Apple would bother trying to shut it down. I assume they had some test code on the site that was there at the time, and was still active. My iPhone 4S, which can't run iOS 10, can still access the App Store.

Apple has been trying to kill off jailbreaking for a long time. With the new file system they're coming out with, jailbreaking's days are numbered. Supposedly there is an exploit (which will still need to have a functional jailbreak developed) for 10.2.1 but after that version, there's not much hope.

Just to be clear. MLC's screenshot is for the "Apple Store" app on iOS. Where you buy Mac products. It now requires iOS 10 , Apple has told me a while back.

The APP Store IS still reachable on iOS 9 and maybe older ones.
It confused me at first look, but then I just opened both apps on iOS 9.
Hope this helps.

And yet, I'm on iOS 10 and can't access it. So who's loss is THAT!

OK, that makes more sense. The Apple Store is something you can get to with a browser.

[Tomrabbit]

Heard that, Michael. Makes no sense. And I understand everyone's frustration w Apple. +1 there....

Just wanted to let you know you 'should' be able to reach the App Store from the iPhone icon easily. And D/L any apps..... as you had stated: "Clicked the link. The App Store now requires iOS 10. Guess I'm done d/l apps on my iPhone. Will be looking for an alternative to iPhone soon."

Cheers!

Just tried again and it's been fixed. Duh!!

According to Ars Technica the new iMac pro is completely sealed, and nothing can be upgraded or replaced. Hard to see whether they really want to address this market, or just squeezing more cash out of an old product line.

But it isn't out yet. It will be interesting to see what happens in December as well as what companies like OWC offer in the months that follow.

Non-replaceable RAM and difficult to replace SSDs have been a hallmark of the portable market for a few years now. I won't be too pleased if 4T onboard storage isn't available but that's me.

The "oh no, it's sealed and you can't upgrade anything" argument is how old? 33 years at least going back to the original Mac. In real $, the iMac Pro costs less.

In any case, it will be nice to have choices. Perhaps a used or refurb trash can with 3 monitors will be the ticket next year. It would be nice if my 2010 holds on till then.
