Overview
- Apple, which pulled the Mac Pro from its website Thursday, confirmed to 9to5Mac that no new models are planned.
- A small number of Mac Pro units remain in Apple’s Certified Refurbished store in rack and tower versions, with prices listed around $6,289 to $10,029 and standard warranty coverage.
- Coverage now places the Mac Studio at the top of Apple’s desktop range with M4 Max or M3 Ultra chips, and multiple outlets report an M5 Ultra version is expected later in 2026.
- Apple Silicon’s unified memory and built-in GPUs block RAM or graphics card upgrades, which left the Mac Pro’s PCIe slots useful for fewer tasks and pushed more pro add-ons to Thunderbolt gear that can add delay.
- The Mac Pro line debuted in 2006, shifted to a compact cylinder in 2013, returned to a modular tower in 2019, and ended with a 2023 M2 Ultra model that struggled to justify its $6,999 price against the cheaper, similarly fast Mac Studio.
