Studio Display XDR, Apple has officially removed the Mac Pro from its inventory. It has been confirmed to 9to5Mac that there are no intentions to release future Mac Pro hardware.
While Apple did not provide details on the reason for discontinuing the Mac Pro, several factors may have contributed to this choice. The computer is priced quite high, experiences infrequent updates, and appears misaligned with Apple’s current Mac offerings.
Since its launch, the Mac Pro has seen limited updates. It attracted high-end users during the pre-Apple Silicon phase due to its versatility and compatibility within the ecosystem, offering multiple PCIe slots, replaceable GPUs, and RAM upgrades to significant capacities. The M2 Ultra model released in 2023 still included PCIe slots, yet they were unusable for GPUs. Now, following the recent debut of the M5 Max chip and speculation surrounding an upcoming M5 Ultra Mac Studio, Apple has chosen to discontinue the most recent version of the Mac Pro.
