The company is said to have stopped developing important upgrades and shifted its focus to Mac Studio.
Recent leaks revealed that Apple has nearly written the fate of Mac Pro.
The Mac Pro line was last updated in 2023 with the M2 Ultra chip, and there are currently no plans to upgrade in the near future. The strategy for Mac Pro shows no signs of changing, according to leaked sources, as Apple has stopped developing the M4 Ultra chip and the Mac Pro model that was expected to use this chip has also been canceled.
That means the next top-notch Apple Silicon chip will be the M5 Ultra, but it will only be for Mac Studio. And according to this roadmap, Mac Pro will not have a significant update in 2026.
If this trend continues, Mac Studio will likely become the default choice for users who need high processing power, replacing the position that has belonged to Mac Pro for many years.
However, the door to a new generation of Mac Pro is not yet completely closed. Apple may change its strategy if market or professional demand demand demand demands it. But at the moment, the message is quite clear: the future of Apple's high-performance tabletop is in Mac Studio.
