Apple announced three new MacBook Pros today — two with the new Touch Bar, one with normal function keys — and a slightly updated 13-inch MacBook Air.
But plenty of other Macs were left out of Apple’s rather sparse October 27 event, despite rumors suggesting otherwise. Let us count the ways.

Although Microsoft sorta released one yesterday.
- Mac Pro: Apple hasn’t updated its cylindrical desktop machine for 1,043 days — it was unveiled October 22, 2013 but launched in December of that year.
- Mac Mini: Apple’s budget desktop machine hasn’t been updated in 742 days, when it was unveiled on October 16, 2014.
- MacBook: But we expected that. Apple updated its MacBooks in June, 191 days ago.
While the new MacBook Pros look pretty slick, fans of Apple’s desktop computers can’t be too happy today. Guess we have to wait ’til spring?
