Apple added a “while supplies last” message to its iMac Pro product page worldwide late Friday night, removing all upgrade options for the computer, leaving only the standard configuration available to order for now.

We’ve since confirmed with Apple that when supplies run out, the iMac Pro won’t be available at all. Apple says the latest 27-inch iMac launched in August is preferred by the vast majority of professional iMac users, and customers who need even more performance and expandability can choose the Mac Pro.
The latest 27-inch iMac has a 5K display with True Tone and nano-textured glass option, up to a 10-core 10th Gen Intel Core i9 processor, up to 128 GB RAM, up to 8 TB storage, up to AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT graphics , a 10 Gigabit Ethernet option, a higher resolution 1080p camera, improved speakers and microphones, and more.
While the Intel-based 27-inch iMac is currently Apple’s recommendation, rumors suggest a redesigned iMac with a next-generation Apple silicon chip and a design inspired by Apple’s high-end Pro Display XDR will be released later this year. customers may want to be patient. It’s unclear whether an Apple silicone version of the iMac Pro will ever be released, but it seems unlikely at this point.
Released in December 2017, the iMac Pro has not undergone any substantial hardware refreshes in its lifetime.
