Overview
- Bloomberg’s Power On reports Apple has “largely written off” the Mac Pro, prioritizing the Mac Studio as its professional desktop platform.
- Work on an M4 Ultra chip was halted, and the Mac Pro revision that was expected to use it was reportedly canceled.
- The M5 Ultra is described as the next high-end Apple Silicon part, currently planned only for the Mac Studio.
- Gurman’s reporting indicates a significant Mac Pro update in 2026 is unlikely given the current chip mapping.
- The Mac Pro was last refreshed in June 2023 with M2 Ultra, and its value has been questioned as a pricier Mac Studio with PCIe slots; Apple has not confirmed these internal plans.
