Talk about the end of an era: Apple has officially discontinued the Mac Pro.

9to5Mac was the first to notice that the Mac Pro has been removed from Apple's website, and Apple confirmed that the pro-grade desktop machine has been discontinued.

The old Mac Pro page now simply redirects to Apple's Mac homepage, which only offers the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and iMac desktop computers.

The Mac Pro was introduced in 2019 as an incredibly powerful and pricy desktop computer. It was praised for improved thermal management compared to the old, "trash can" Mac Pro, but also ridiculed for its "cheese grater" design.

Besides being a pricy machine in its own right, the Mac Pro also raised eyebrows due to its wheels, which cost $400 as an option and a whopping $699 if you bought them separately. For those of you who were eager to dish out seven hundred bucks for these beauties, we regret to report that the wheels, too, are no longer available for purchase.

Joking aside, this is a serious moment for Mac-loving professionals, as Apple confirmed to 9to5Mac it had no plans to offer any Mac Pro hardware in the future.

If you need a pro-grade Mac, it'll have to be the Mac Studio, which fortunately is quite a powerful machine, with either an M4 Max or M3 Ultra chip, up to 256GB of memory, and up to 16TB of storage. According to recent reports, Apple plans to upgrade the Mac Studio sometime in mid-2026.
