Overview
- Mark Gurman reports Apple has largely written off the Mac Pro based on conversations with internal sources.
- Development of an M4 Ultra was reportedly canceled, along with the Mac Pro configuration that would have used it.
- The next top-tier chip is expected to be the M5 Ultra, which is currently planned only for a future Mac Studio.
- On this roadmap, the Mac Pro is not expected to receive a significant update in 2026.
- Apple has not announced these plans publicly, and the Mac Pro’s last update was the M2 Ultra model released in June 2023, which many view as a pricier, PCIe‑expandable counterpart to the Mac Studio.
