If you were hoping to buy an iMac Pro for serious work, you better act fast. 9to5Mac reported (and Apple confirmed to Engadget) that Apple was ending sales of its all-in-one workstation. You can still buy one, but it’s limited to the basic 10-core Xeon configuration and is only available “while stocks last.” You should also be patient, as orders take three to four weeks as we write this.
Apple told Engadget that most professional customers are likely to be happy with the high-quality 2020 iMac, which has made SSDs standard and features more recent graphics, up to 128 GB of RAM and the option to reduce a nano-textured version finish . Customers who need more can always buy a Mac Pro Tower, the company added.
It is not clear if it will be replaced, but we will not count on it. The iMac Pro was launched in late 2017 as an effective stopgap system while high-end customers waited for a redesigned Mac Pro. Although Apple pushed the base spec of an eight-core processor to 10, it never updated the hardware further – although Intel’s sluggish Xeon update schedule played a role, it was also clear that Apple spent most of its weight behind the Mac Pro. . This iMac was mostly useful for professional users who need a relatively easy-to-transport machine for tasks like photo and video editing.
As it stands now, the iMac Pro has faced an uncertain future. Apple’s transition to its own silicon would likely reconsider the company’s process system strategy. Rumors are swirling about future iMacs with up to 16 high-speed cores, not to mention a mini Mac Pro desktop. If this is true, it would not make much sense for a new iMac Pro if other systems could do the job at least as well. Then do not grieve too much about the iMac Pro, as its successor could possibly fill the gap.
