This update of EveryMac.com unveils a new "Notification Bar" feature, documents Apple's quiet discontinuation of the iMac Pro and original HomePod, and provides comprehensive updates to the iMac Pro Q&A and Mac Pro Q&A to help you get more out of these workhorses.

EveryMac.com's new "Notification Bar" feature replaces a Google advertisement with notices about site updates, prominent dates in Mac history, and limited-time deals from site sponsors. If you like this feature -- and you would like to see more dedicated sponsors and fewer network ads in the future -- consider becoming an EveryMac.com Supporter.
The iMac Pro Q&A answers "What is the fastest external storage available for the iMac Pro?" and "What is the best USB hub for the iMac Pro?" and many other questions about Apple's now discontinued high-end desktops.
The Mac Pro Q&A answers "How do you upgrade the processor in the Mac Pro? Is it possible? Which processors are good candidates?" and "How do you upgrade the internal storage in the Mac Pro? How many drives actually are supported?" and much more about Apple's most powerful current tower Macs.
EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers for Macs and devices from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contribute info. It's appreciated always.
