Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple has “largely written off” the Mac Pro, with Mac Studio viewed internally as the present and future of its pro desktop lineup.
- Work on an M4 Ultra chip and the Mac Pro variant expected to use it was reportedly canceled, signaling a shift in resources.
- The next flagship chip, M5 Ultra, is currently planned only for a refreshed Mac Studio, not for the Mac Pro.
- The Mac Pro remains on 2023’s M2 Ultra, whereas the Mac Studio received the newer M3 Ultra earlier this year.
- Apple has not confirmed these plans, but the reporting indicates no significant Mac Pro update is expected in 2026.
