Apple confirms iMac Pro will be discontinued when supplies run out, recommends 27-inch iMac

Apple on Friday night added a “while supplies last” notice to its iMac Pro worldwide product page and removed all upgrade options from the computer, leaving only the standard configuration available at the order at the moment.

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 introduced in August is the preferred choice of the vast majority of iMac pro users, and that customers who need even more performance and scalability can choose the Mac Pro.

Latest 27-inch iMac features 5K display with True Tone and nano-texture glass option, up to 10th Gen 10-core Intel Core i9 processor, up to 128GB RAM, up to 8TB storage , up to AMD Graphics Radeon Pro 5700 XT, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet option, a high-resolution 1080p camera, enhanced speakers and microphones, and more.

While the Intel-based 27-inch iMac is currently Apple’s recommendation, rumors suggest that 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, so many of the customers might want to be patient. It’s unclear if 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 did not receive any substantial hardware refresh during its lifetime.
