Apple Confirms Mac Pro Is Dead, No Future Models Planned

6 hours ago

Apple has discontinued the Mac Pro and removed it from its website.
No new Mac Pro models are planned for the future.
The last update was in 2023 with an M2 Ultra chip, but the chassis remained unchanged since 2019.
The Mac Pro was redesigned in 2019 to be more modular after the failed 2013 'trashcan' design.
Apple has largely replaced the Mac Pro with the Mac Studio, which is smaller and uses newer Apple silicon chips.
The Mac Studio is now Apple's high-end desktop for professionals, featuring an M3 Ultra chip with an M5 Ultra refresh expected soon.
The 2013 Mac Pro design was flawed, lacking PCIe expansion slots and future GPU upgradeability.
Apple apologized for the 2013 design's limitations, which were thermally constrained.
The 2019 Mac Pro introduced a standard tower form factor with eight PCIe slots.
The Mac Pro received only three updates in 13 years before being retired.
