We have been hearing a growing smattering of chatter from disparate sources, none of which can be confirmed to our satisfaction to report this as anything other than a rumor, that Apple is planning to surprise professional users with a 4K UltraHD Thunderbolt Display alongside the release of the Mac Pro tomorrow, December 19th.
In addition, there may be “some other Apple peripherals that also show up alongside the Mac Pro,” says one source.
Again, this is a rumor, but we think enough of the information received and the sources in total to pass it along.

Wallet stays in my pocket until it’s official.
Then it stays in my pocket until a money automagically appears within.
But you still have checks!
Does any one sees a Haswell Mac mini released alongside the MacPro?
I’ve been theorizing the same thing for months now. Absence of a Haswell Mini is puzzling…. BUT maybe it is now positioned as Apple’s “Prosumer” solution to wannabe Mac Pro buyers, and an updated Mini released along side the Mac Pro will placate many. Hope it happens.
When I first read your question I thought you were predicting a Bell & Howell Mac mini — which really shows my age (look up Bell & Howell Apple II at someplace called oldcomputers.net)!!
Have to say that wouldn’t make sense. Not at this date, any ways. That would force a bunch of people to return their and last-gen mini Christmas gifts for the new version, not to mention that there would be some iMac buyers who would also rethink and purchase the new mini instead (if they happen to have a display already).
There’ll be a Haswell mini, of course, but it will be coming in the first or second quarter.
A real surprise would be if they managed to keep it under $3K.
Oh. I was thinking they’d just throw one in for free. Use it as a lost leader. 🙂
Loss leader.
let me preface: it’s only a play on his words
Use it as a lost leader Ah, just as is obama
Happy Trails and Merry Christmas, y’all
Hopefully a full sized wireless keyboard and an updated magic mouse with more input points for pro apps.
so clutch this would be
Ohh then the 27″ thunderbolts will drop in price and I can buy another…. 🙂
I have no need for 4k but two thunderbolts? That would just be for show ….
If it’s a version of LG’s new ultra-wide 4096×2160 4K monitor, I’m in. Though I might have to sell my antique doll collection.
NOOOOOOO not the dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hannah, you forget that the corollary to Hannah’s Law of Headlines:
“Any article with a title that starts our with “Rumor:” is likely a 100% fabrication by the author.”
UNLESS the author is MDN, as is the rare case here
My pet rock collection is going absolutely nowhere. I think I’m in as well.
I realize you’re being facetious and your comment very funny, but I’m an antique doll collector and would be willing to negotiate. 😉
Will you pay future net gains on my daughters’ dolls? They’re not antiques yet
🙂
Tim Cook could be feeling a little constipated tomorrow, because you know he’s going to bend down and pull that 27″ 4K monitor right out of his anus.
Apple is planning to surprise professional users with a 4K UltraHD Thunderbolt Display
We already know what Apple is doing: They’re offering already existent THIRD PARTY accessories that work directly with the new Mac Pro. Apple wisely is NOT duplicating what is already available to its customers. Why bother?
If Apple comes out with its own accessories for anything, they’re going to continue to be something you CANNOT get elsewhere. Gigantic DUH factor.
The all new 4K TB2 30″ display, starting at $4999. Heh.
Along with a 4k version of Apple TV… now that I might buy!
