Apple discontinues Mac Pro and consolidates Mac Studio as a professional solution
Apple has removed the Mac Pro from its official website and confirmed that it does not plan to release new models of the device. The product purchase page now redirects to the Mac line home page, with all references to the equipment eliminated. The decision consolidates the Mac Studio as the main high-performance desktop option for professionals who demand powerful machines.
Mac Pro is discontinued after seven years without significant updates
The Mac Pro received its last major update in June 2023, when it incorporated the M2 Ultra chip. Desde then, the model maintained its starting price of US$6,999 without new configurations, even after the launch of the M3 Ultra in Mac Studio in 2025. The professional tower, which was present in the Apple catalog for approximately 20 years, is now leaving the scene definitively.

The transition reflects the company’s strategy of focusing on integrated and efficient solutions with Apple Silicon chips. The industrial design of the Mac Pro launched in 2019 also coincided with the launch of the Pro Display XDR, which had already been discontinued earlier this month. Essa change marks the closing of an era in the history of the Mac line.
Mac Studio takes central position in the desktop offering
Apple now offers exactly three desktop models in its catalog. The 24-inch iMac is equipped with an M4 chip. The Mac mini is available in versions with M4 and M4 Pro. The Mac Studio completes the offer as a more robust solution for demanding professional tasks.
The Mac Studio allows configurations with up to 32-core CPU, up to 80-core GPU, 256 GB of unified memory and up to 16 TB of SSD storage. Profissionais that need high performance find the machine a more compact and updated alternative to the traditional Mac Pro tower. The simplification comes after the recent launch of the MacBook Neo, which joins the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in the laptop lineup.
