Apple's iMac Pro comes with special black Lightning-to-USB cable
One small perk of the upcoming iMac Pro is a black Lightning-to-USB cable, until now unavailable from Apple.
The accessory's inclusion was highlighted in a first impressions video by YouTuber Marques Brownlee. The cable notably uses a USB-A connector, despite the Pro having four USB-C ports available.
Having been promised since June, 8- and 10-core versions of the iMac Pro will finally go on sale Dec. 14. People wanting 14- or 18-core configurations will have to wait until 2018.
The $4,999 entry-level model will include an 8-core processor, 32 gigabytes of RAM, and a 1-terabyte SSD, with an 8-gigabyte AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 GPU. Upgrade options will include 16-gigabyte Vega 64 GPUs, up to 128 gigabytes of RAM, and SSDs as big as 4 terabytes.
Black Lightning-to-USB cables are easy to find from third-party manufacturers, but Apple itself has stuck to white for every product so far.

Why would I buy this over the surface desktop? Unless I'm using final cut pro, there is nothing holding
Me back at this point.
Creative cloud will run the same on both platforms. Drawing is clearly better on the surface.
The sup and full touch screen is more functional frlor drawing and manipulating art.
I dint even know why apple released this.
