"Why did Apple just release new MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros, and a Retina MacBook Pro, but no new iMacs or Mac Pros? And why are the iMacs probably being updated this year while the Mac Pro update won't happen for 12-18 months? As usual, I have some guesses." Good points.

Apple is probably waiting for Xeons with on-CPU graphics. This would eliminate the difficulty of routing the PCIe available from the CPU or mainboard and the graphics from an add-in board to the same port.
With on-CPU graphics, it makes it much easier to add a thunderbolt port, and add-in graphics boards can still output via the integrated chip.
