Apple's $700 Mac Pro Wheels Kit Discontinued Along With Mac Pro

[Baseiseough]

Dang... I almost had enough money saved up too.

Seriously, I have been saving for years to get a Mac Pro in order to have a use for the wheel set I got a few Christmas ago!

 

[Baseiseough]

Always wondered how they made any profit on the wheels given how cheap they sold them.

And here comes Apple Creative Studio to the rescue !

See, this is why an Apple Car would never have worked. Look they charged for a set of wheels for this little metal box. Now imagine what a set of wheels for an Apple Car would cost.

RIP. Truly the product of all time

The Apple wheel replacement would have been included with Apple care+ for Apple car for 299$ a month with a 499$ fee for each wheel replacement.

They have a s---load stock of wheels. They are to be reintroduced with the Robotic Homepod.

Don't think so. They were a huge seller and they could barely keep up with the demand.

I mean they did not come with brakes but clearly didn't stop many people stepping on the peddle

 

[Jamie0003]

Let's hope they don't discontinue the cleaning cloth.

Apple would be doomed

The wheels and the cloth were peak Tim Apple.

Don't forget the $1,000 XDR stand...

Apple was so insanely out of touch in this era holy cow.

One of the all time Apple keynote moments when the crowd groaned in unison in disbelief, then laughed in unison. Woof.

 

[RealKeishav]

Thank god to services otherwise how apple would have kept it so low price.

Which wouldn't have been so bad, except it seems to me like Apple would rather pass a kidney stone than admit making a bad call and course-correct. The old 'hockey puck' one button mouse, the butter fly keyboards in laptops, 8 gig RAM in starter Mac configurations (and how about that 256 gig SSD!), the 'trashcan' MacPro, sometimes it seemed like once they decided on a course of action, that was it, and they were going to either try to brainwash us into thinking that was the way to go or pretend criticism didn't exist.

Even when they course correct, if they can save face, watch out. For many years they stuck with one-button mice when buying 3rd party was just something a lot of us did, and when they finally got the message...Magic Mouse. I could imagine Apple corporate choosing to cough up a lung before they'd put out a multi-button mouse. Gotta wonder if there's a sign or secret code about mice in Apple H.Q. somewhere.

Steve Jobs would be embarrassed with this product and Apple today

 

[Earwolf]

Now they can reinvent them

[The Boatman]

Truly the wheels are coming off at Apple.

 

[vegetassj4]

Get the new Wheels Kit Adapter, and use them for the Mac Studio

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

I was going to get a set until I learned they didn't have a mileage warranty.

 

[contraband]

Cost more than my car tires

 

[Dr McKay]

Any adaptor kits available?

 

[Happy_John]

Well, yes.

This doesn’t need its own article. It’s just fishing for snark.

Mission accomplished, I guess, but it’s a cheap and cynical play to get engagement for the site.
