Apple has officially ended production of one of its most iconic computers, the Mac Pro. The company has confirmed that sales of the tower workstation have been discontinued, and the corresponding section has already disappeared from the official website. However, remaining units can still be found in the refurbished section.
The fate of the Mac Pro was effectively sealed in advance. The model received its last update in 2023 when it was equipped with the M2 Ultra chip, and since then, the device hasn't undergone any significant changes. According to insiders, Apple has long been focusing on the more compact and modern Mac Studio, considering it a more efficient solution for professionals.
Closing the Mac Pro project means Apple is completely abandoning classic modular computers in the tower format. The company had already been gradually moving away from expandability, emphasizing its own Apple Silicon chips and the ability to connect external devices via Thunderbolt instead of installing internal components.
Meanwhile, the professional solutions lineup isn't disappearing—its role is now fully transitioning to the Mac Studio, which is expected to receive an update soon, possibly by WWDC 2026. Apple is confident that the power of its proprietary processors is sufficient to compensate for the lack of classic modularity.
The Mac Pro first appeared in 2006 and became a symbol of Apple's professional workstations. Now, after nearly two decades, the era of this device has officially come to a close.
