iMac Pro is Out of Stock Again in U.S. After Being Discontinued

[MacRumors]

Earlier this month, Apple confirmed that the iMac Pro is being discontinued. The standard configuration of the computer has remained available "while supplies last," but even this configuration is out of stock again in multiple countries.

Apple's online store lists the iMac Pro as "Currently Unavailable" in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and select other countries. The standard iMac Pro remains available across much of the rest of Europe and Asia, but with lengthy shipping estimates. It's likely that iMac Pro availability will continue to fluctuate, but the end of the line is clearly in sight for the computer.

Released in December 2017, the iMac Pro received no substantial hardware refreshes over its lifetime and continues to be sold for $4,999.

Apple said the 27-inch iMac introduced in August 2020 has become the preferred choice for the vast majority of pro iMac users. The latest 27-inch iMac configured with a 10-core Core i9 processor is both faster and less expensive than the standard iMac Pro with a 10-core Xeon W processor. Apple said customers who need even more performance and expandability can choose the Mac Pro, released in December 2019.

For customers who are still interested in the iMac Pro, Apple recently added a variety of configurations to its refurbished store.

Apple is rumored to be working on a redesigned iMac with Apple silicon for release later this year, so many customers may want to exercise patience. The new iMac's design is said to be inspired by Apple's high-end Pro Display XDR, with a flat back, slimmer bezels around the display, and no metal "chin" below the display.

I think Mac Pro will be discontinued soon, they havent updated it

 

[blazerunner]

iMac Pro was a terrible value; high price, poor performer (thanks to non-existent cooling), zero upgrade path, gimped GPU.

So long iMac Pro, you won't be missed.

 

[Bug-Creator]

My guess:

The last iMacPro dropped off the factory line some time last year, and the few that are still around may be in all the wrong places. Thats why delivery takes so long or isn't even possible at all.

Not that there can be much demand for what was a merely ok deal years ago.

And yet it's still the best performing Apple machine I've ever owned. By a long shot. 🤷🏻

So people are still buying these.

I gather you do not have one?

That says more about how poor Apple's computers are LOL

Really? Do elaborate? The only poor Apple computer I've owned was the 4k retina iMac (can't remember the year but it was awful). Everything else going back to the 2007 iMacs and MacBooks have been solid workhorses. The iMac Pro has been an outstanding machine and a pleasure to work on. It's sad that it's now EOL but looking forward to what the AS iMac has to offer in the next couple of years.

That’s not good. They are probably available on eBay.

 

[LeadingHeat]

My guess is that the new 27” (30”?) with the M2 or whatever they end up calling it will be more powerful than the iMac Pro, hence it would be redundant to have it around still stealing away some market share.

 

[no_idea]

Amazing how many harsh critics there are here...
News Flash - not every product Apple releases will be an allstar.

 

[satchmo]

Wait. So people are rushing out to buy the last remaining stock?

As a collectable? Is there a use case reason to buy one today?

Considering Apple takes FOREVER to release products, you'd think that all their products would be top-of-class allstars!

 

[uller6]

Too bad, I still love my iMac Pro. I hope it continues to serve me well for years to come.

Likely won't be true when the next M-based iMac is released for far less money!

What is not good about it? It is an aged product that hasn't seen even a refresh in 3.5 years. Plus it is a "pro" in an AIO format which isn't ideal and the latest iMac gets close to the performance level at a much lower cost. Not sure why you think this is "not good", perhaps you could enlighten us?

I purchased mine a year ago on the pre-owned market and couldn't be happier. This 10-core, with 64GB RAM, Vega 64, and a 2 TB SSD is fast enough for all of my photography, video, virtual machine, and development tasks. In BootCamp, I can play almost any of the games I enjoy. I agree that buying one from Apple was a no-go due to price (for me, anyway), but it's a great machine for all of my uses and I'm pleased with the purchase. I believe it will cover my computing needs for quite some time.

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

Bye bye...

It's been great, but it kernel panics occasionally. 😳

I've pushed mine pretty hard, and it's not super fast, but capable. Gets the job done.

 

[macsareveryinteresting]

I think it’s going to be upgraded.

Yeah they haven’t updated their app yet.

 

[fastlanephil]

There’s over 50 iMac Pro’s available at the Apple refurbished store, last I checked.

 

[BaltimoreMediaBlog]

I realize my memory and bus speed are slower, but isn't my 2010 Mac Pro 3.3Gz 6-core with 64GB memory and 1TB SSD and RX-580 actually fast than an iMac Pro that could likely cost 2-3X the money or at the very least pretty comparable for a pittance?

Hope not, we just ordered one few months ago.

 

[Mr. Dee]

I recommend owners hold onto them, they will become collectors items in the distant future.
