Not sure if it means anything, I don't track Mac Pros or ever plan on owning one but I thought it was interesting that the 12-Core and Server are unavailable in the Canadian store.. also no social sharing not that it's a big deal:

Also what's an AMD 5770 120? :p
 
IN the norwegian store the Mac Pro smallest model have changed price.

I can see the smallest model has changed price by over 950$, and is unavailable.

The smallest model is priced different in the shortcut menu, at least in the norwegian menu.

Maybe new Mac Pro update tomorrow or tonight ?
 
No changes in the UK store, which is a shame as I'm on the verge of buying!

Ooo. Shame I did not take a screenshot. Now, the pricing is back to normal.

It was changed from old to something wrong with pricing, and then changed back to old. So I guess something is going on here. I would guess we will see an immanent Mac Pro update. It is a guess. I am no prophet.
 
In the U.S. store, everything looks the same as it did before. Quad core and 8-core ship within 24 hours, 12-core and server ship in 2-4 days.
 
This is what I see in the UK store at the moment. The store is having a lot of problems right now though.

The UK store has now changed since I posted the earlier shot and delivery time for the 12 core is now 8 days.

The US store is having issues too -- the main storefront (not Mac Pro page) shows pricing starting at $4999....

On a whim, I looked at the US Education store too. The quad core is listed as unavailable.

Everything seems fine to me? All is ok here in FL in the USA

I'm looking right now again -- the issues I saw earlier seem to be gone for me now. BUT at the moment I'm only getting an option for the 12-core -- all others are now missing from the Mac Pro section of the store. Very odd.

I'm refreshing at the store with multiple browsers on multiple devices and getting the same results everywhere at the moment.

Poops, seems like it's nothing more than a site error instead of a dwindling supply of Pros in the wake of the new ones.

Although I don't think a refresh is launching tomorrow, plenty of machine refreshes have been given away by site errors.

The G5 introduction's surprise was blown by a site error. :p
 
I wouldn't be surprised if the low stock level was an indication of them winding down the product line, that is not immediate, as it'll probably take 3 months or longer for them to deplete that line, as I can imagine it's not a product that flies off the shelf daily!! Specially when the users (pro's) are a bit more savvy, also considering the large investment takes more consideration and therefore, most would be aware of an impending refresh!!

So I wouldn't be waiting for any imienent release!
