Upset that there were no significant updates to Apple's desktop line at this year's WWDC keynote? Apple has now confirmed that professional users will finally have their day in 2013, and the Mac Pro may finally see an update at that time.

Macworld and Forbes both have confirmations from Apple that updates for professionals who rely on Macs are on their way for next year. (Apple CEO Tim Cook had replied to an e-mail from a user about the issue, and Cook's response was originally posted on Facebook.)

"Our Pro customers like you are really important to us," reads part of Cook's e-mail. "Although we didn’t have a chance to talk about a new Mac Pro at today’s event, don’t worry as we’re working on something really great for later next year."

Apple did end up making some updates to the Mac Pro on Monday, but they were quite short of what most Mac Pro fans would have expected—we wrote a feature last week about what could reasonably be included in such a Mac Pro update. Still, a major update is apparently waiting in the wings, according to Cook and Apple, though we must note that Cook didn't specifically say the Mac Pro would get an update next year—just that "something really great" is coming.
