Overview
- Apple confirmed the Mac Pro is discontinued with no successor planned, and the product was removed from its online store with the buy page now redirecting to the Mac homepage.
- Apple now positions the Mac Studio at the top of its desktop lineup, with models on sale using M4 Max or M3 Ultra chips and reports pointing to an M5 Ultra option later this year.
- The Mac Pro’s final update arrived in June 2023 when it adopted the M2 Ultra in the 2019 tower chassis, adding unified graphics and memory and eight Thunderbolt 4 ports.
- For most pro users, the Mac Studio matched Apple‑silicon performance for far less than the $6,999 Mac Pro, while the tower’s PCIe slots did not allow add‑in GPUs because the GPU lives on the chip.
- Ending the Mac Pro closes a 20‑year chapter that began in 2006 with Apple’s first Intel‑based tower workstation.
