When Apple launched theM2 Pro Mac minion Tuesday , it finally eliminated the Intel Core i5 theoretical account that stay around for at least two year too long . In doing so , it removed one of the last Intel Macs from its store , leave just one Mac remain that has n’t transitioned to Apple silicon .
Of course , it ’s the Mac Pro , Apple ’s bounteous and most expensive Mac . It starts at $ 5,999 , tops out at more than $ 50,000 , and has n’t received a processor refresh since its introduction in 2019 . Even if the rest of the lineup had n’t switched to M1 and M2 central processor , the Mac Pro would still be show its age , but with the $ 1,999 Mac Studio extend similar speeds for far less , Apple ’s “ mellow - performance organization based on absolute flexibleness and uncompromising public utility ” has more than a few compromises these days .

It ’s just a affair of fourth dimension until the Mac Pro gets its overdue Apple silicon rise , but the enquiry remains : When is that happening ? It ’s been nearly a year since John Ternus teased its existence . WWDC , when the past three models debut , is n’t for another five month , which is an eternity in tech years . The more prison term give-up the ghost by , the less relevant the Mac Pro is . The viral tweet above tote up it up : Apple will give you just $ 970 in trade - in value for a maxed - out Mac Pro that you canstill buyfor more than $ 50,000 . That ’s quite a depreciation .
The Mac Pro might not be a self-aggrandizing seller , but there are surely some customers who are waiting to see what Apple unveils before decide whether to buy a Mac Studio rather . The pompous death to the Apple silicon changeover is certain to get this twelvemonth , but with no tease during this latest bustle of proclamation , it ’s anyone ’s speculation as to when .
