Apple has officially discontinued the Mac Pro, a desktop model that had been part of its lineup since 2019. This decision means the Mac Studio will now serve as the premier professional computer offered by the company. The Mac Pro was initially designed to address the performance demands of professional users, featuring a unique cheese-grater appearance and various expansion options.
Although the Mac Pro was updated to include the M2 Ultra chip, its design remained unchanged, and it struggled to compete with the newer Mac Studio, which was launched in 2022. Apple's transition to its own M-series Arm chips began in 2020, marking a significant shift away from Intel processors.
Reports had indicated that Apple planned to phase out the Mac Pro by November 2025, making its removal from the website not entirely unexpected. Meanwhile, Apple continues to support professional users with products like the Studio Display XDR, which replaces the earlier Pro Display XDR.
