Apple discontinues the iMac Pro and sells the one left “while supplies last,” according to a new post added to the desktop product page Friday.
MacRumors first saw the new notification on the iMac Pro’s product page, then confirmed with Apple that the device will be discontinued. Apple told the outlet that once supplies run out, the iMac Pro will no longer be available. In fact the only version available now is the standard version, which costs $ 5,000 as Apple has eliminated additional upgrade options.
According to MacRumors, Apple said the 27-inch iMac it was released last summer, which is probably the last with an Intel chip, preferred by the vast majority of iMac professional users. The company added that customers who need even more performance and expandability can choose the Mac Pro.
Released in 2017, the iMac Pro was released as Apple’s most powerful Mac computer at the time, or as we used to call it “Super powerful workhorse.” However, over the years, it was never clear whether the iMac Pro was selling well. In fact, it has not received any substantial hardware updates since its debut.
His place in the Apple family was also in the air. As noted by 9to5Mac, the 2019 Mac Pro was also aimed at people who wanted a high-end workstation. It also faced performance rivalry among the high-end iMac models.

It has been reported that the 27-inch 2020 iMac will be the last with the traditional iMac design, or thick bezels around the screen with an aluminum chin and a large Apple logo in the center. If true, this would be the iMac’s first overhaul in nine years. T.he is also reportedly company are working on two new Mac Pros, the most expensive desktop.
