In with a bang, out in silence -- the end of the Mac Pro
appleinsider.com
For almost two decades, the Mac Pro bounced between coveted and beloved, to derided and forgotten. This isn't the first time this has been said, but now it seems like the reign of the Mac Pro is finally over.

Given Apple’s current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it’s for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

    Meaningless clickbait. It’s still sold, and Apple doesn’t announce future plans, so this is directly out of someone’s ass.

    In a “Mac Pro” you want a Mac that is built like a PC, but Apple doesn’t build Macs like that anymore.

    The new Mac Pro is a Mac mini or Studio running a Pro chip (or higher). But it’s not like the old Mac Pro.

    You can’t get a Macintosh Performa anymore, either, but you can buy an Apple Vision Pro. I wouldn’t, but you can.
