Today the iMac Pro officially became unavailable from the Apple Store and major third-party retail partners in the US, marking the end of the three-year transitional series.
Apple previously removed any customization from the iMac Pro, leaving a single $4,999 model. Now the iMac Pro is no longer available, leaving the Mac Pro as the only “pro” desktop Mac. The iMac Pro is still listed on Apple.com and the Apple Store, but it’s impossible to buy the product. It’s also listed as unavailable at most retail stores , but there’s a chance that there may still be some available in your area. It’s also worth noting that products like this can also come and go sporadically on Apple.com based on cancellations of existing orders as well as other factors.
Retail partners like Best Buy and Amazon are also listing the iMac Pro as unavailable for delivery and pickup. Apple introduced refreshed iMacs in August 2020, but neglected to make any significant changes to the iMac Pro, likely due to the upcoming launch of Apple Silicon. The upgraded 2020 iMac models included an option for the nano-texture display and processors that could be as fast as the iMac Pro.
Rumors have been circulating for a while now about a completely redesigned Apple Silicon iMac with thin bezels , a colorful exterior , and more. With the significant speed and performance improvements that come with Apple Silicon, it's possible that Apple isn't planning on an iMac Pro in its future plans and is instead focusing on building a truly great iMac .
