The Fruity Cargo Cult Apple has finally sliced the computer-inspired-by-a-cheese-grater off the menu.
The Mac Pro has been discontinued; it was pulled from the website, and the “buy” page redirected to the Mac homepage.
Job’s Mob says it has no plans for future Mac Pro hardware, leaving the cheese-grater tower to go mouldy.
The Mac Pro has lived many lives, like a block of cheddar that keeps getting sliced, wrapped and rebranded. Job’s Mob launched this chassis in 2019 with the Pro Display XDR, which was discontinued earlier this month.
It ran on Intel at launch, got an M2 Ultra refresh in June 2023 and sat at $6,999 while the Mac Studio moved on. Job’s Mob put the M3 Ultra chip into the Mac Studio last year, making the tower look like yesterday’s grated Parmesan.
The Mac Studio now plays the ‘pro’ desktop Mac. Configured, it packs an M3 Ultra, a 32-core CPU, an 80-core GPU, 256GB unified memory, and 16TB SSD storage.
With Mac Pro off the menu, Job’s Mob sells the 24-inch iMac with M4, the Mac mini with M4 or M4 Pro and the Mac Studio. Its laptops are MacBook Neo, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, covering prices from pocket money to mortgage territory.
macOS 26.2 introduced a low-latency feature that uses RDMA over Thunderbolt 5, letting you link multiple Macs for extra throughput. That gave ultra-high-end users a scaling option and made the tower’s expansion story smell a bit stale.
Keeping the Mac Pro frozen on M2 Ultra at $6,999 was a bit of a cheese dream, expensive, crumbly and hard to justify. Mac Pro loyalists can keep polishing the holes in that old grater, even if the curds have moved on.
