I got to admit I'm not a big fan of anything Apple has produced since the wonderful AppleII. This is mainly because the open architecture of the AppleII was great for homebrewing circuit boards and extra things. It was (and still is) a magnificent machine.
I'm currently going back into a time warp at the moment as I try and resurect a battered old MITS8800 CPU card. Hopefully I'll be able to build another cool old S100 system, which is a pleasant change from the old Multibus and STD bus repairs/builds I've been doing lately.
In any event, I'm sure that Apple will still offer their user base something different from the normal white-box machines and keep their loyal devotees happy.
