Apple on Tuesday confirmed for The Loop that an email posted to the Mac Rumors forums was in fact from company CEO Tim Cook.

Cook responded to a customer’s concerns about the Mac Pro and emailed him directly. The email was then posted to the Web site’s forums.

“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,” said Cook in the email. He also pointed out that the current Mac Pro model was updated yesterday.
