Apple Discontinues Mac Pro

Apple now steers pro desktop buyers to the smaller, cheaper Mac Studio.

Overview

  • Apple pulled the Mac Pro from its online store and confirmed to 9to5Mac that the model is discontinued.
  • Apple says there will be no future Mac Pro models.
  • Reporting points to the Mac Studio as the high-end option, with similar or better performance at a $1,999 starting price.
  • Apple silicon puts the CPU, GPU, and memory on one chip, which removes classic Mac Pro upgrades like extra RAM, PCIe cards, and CPU swaps.
  • The lineup had swung from the 2013 cylindrical design to a 2019 tower and a 2023 M2 Ultra update, yet it stayed on M2 Ultra as other Macs moved to M3, M4, and M5.
