Apple Mercifully Discontinues Mac Pro, Says ‘No Plans’ for Future Models

My pal Chance Miller scored a helluva scoop this week: The Mac Pro is no more.

“It’s the end of an era: Apple has confirmed to 9to5Mac that the Mac Pro is being discontinued. It has been removed from Apple’s website as of Thursday afternoon. The ‘Buy’ page on Apple’s website for the Mac Pro now redirects to the Mac’s homepage, where all references have been removed,” Miller reported on Thursday. “Apple has also confirmed to 9to5Mac that it has no plans to offer future Mac Pro hardware.”

Until yesterday, Apple sold the 2019 desktop tower, running the M2 Ultra, for $6999.

Unlike John Siracusa, I was never amongst the target demographic for the Mac Pro. I can appreciate what it represented, and my beloved Pro Display XDR was literally built for it, but I never, ever gave the Mac Pro even the slightest consideration as a buying option. Nonetheless, for the people who do still have the Mac Pro, as Siracusa does, there exists an accessibility case for it. Overall, however, it seems the technology world had decisively moved on from the Mac Pro eons ago; indeed, the Mac Studio seems like a much better, and much smaller, fit for these contemporary times.

Don’t miss Joe Rossignol’s “reflecting on 20 years” of the Mac Pro’s life.
