Apple Discontinues Mac Pro After 20+ Years — Mac Studio Becomes Sole Pro Desktop

MacRumors / Bloomberg / 9to5Mac·medium signal

Apple confirmed it has discontinued the $6,999 Mac Pro and has no plans for a future model, ending over two decades of its highest-end desktop line. The Mac Pro had been stuck on the M2 Ultra chip since 2023 with no Apple Silicon upgrade path. The Mac Studio is now Apple's sole professional desktop, compounding pressure on the local-LLM community already hit by the 512GB URAM option disappearing earlier this month amid a DRAM shortage that drove 90-95% Q/Q price increases.
