Apple Retires the Mac Pro, Ending a 20-Year Pro Desktop Era

Apple has discontinued the Mac Pro, closing a two-decade chapter for its high-end desktop towers. From the 2006 Intel-based original (the “cheese grater”) to the 2013 redesign, the 2019 modular model, and the 2023 shift to Apple Silicon with the M2 Ultra, Apple emphasized performance and design while challenging upgradeability. The Mac Studio emerged as a smaller, more affordable alternative, and with new configurations halted, Apple signals the end of the Mac Pro era in favor of Silicon-based and Studio-class machines.
