iMac Pro Discontinued: Apple Ends Production

The iMac Pro's Discontinuation

The eventual phasing out of the iMac Pro has now been confirmed. As initially reported by 9to5Mac, TechCrunch has received verification from Apple regarding the cessation of sales for this all-in-one computer once existing inventory is exhausted.

Currently, a single iMac Pro configuration remains available directly through Apple's website, designated as "While Supplies Last" and carrying a price tag of $5,000. Additional versions may still be obtainable through authorized third-party retailers for those interested.

Initial Release and Target Audience

The space gray iteration of this well-regarded system debuted in 2017, preceding a significant overhaul of the Mac Pro line. It was initially characterized as a dedicated offering for professional developers, though its relevance has diminished over time.

Apple has since modernized the standard iMac, specifically tailoring the 27-inch model to cater to the same professional user base. The company highlights that this model is presently the most favored iMac among professionals, effectively rendering the Pro model largely superfluous and foreshadowing its eventual retirement.

The Broader Apple Ecosystem

Furthermore, the introduction of the updated Mac Pro represents the premium option within Apple’s product portfolio. The existing iMac Pro now occupies an awkward middle ground.

Anticipation is building for the arrival of Apple silicon-powered iMacs. The company has already integrated its proprietary chips into the MacBook, MacBook Air, and Mac Mini lines. Rumors suggest redesigned 21.5-inch and 27-inch desktop versions will be released later this year.
