Aside from the finish, the iMac Pro looks almost identical to the 27-inch iMac.

These are the ports on the back of the computer – a headphone jack, an SD card slot, four USB 3 ports, four Thunderbolt 3 ports and Ethernet.

The back of the iMac Pro. The hole in the stand is all you get for cable management purposes – this is not ideal as the machine is so dependent on Thunderbolt peripherals.

Apple will no longer sell the iMac Pro after the current stock runs out, the company confirmed.
Over the past few days, online Apple customers have noticed that the usual multitude of configuration options of the iMac Pro have been significantly deprived. The online store also stated that the offered iMac Pro will be available “as long as stock lasts.” This led to the suspicion that the product was not long for this world.
Shortly afterwards, Apple, including TechCrunch, received a confirmation from Apple that these changes did indicate that the product had been discontinued.
The 27-inch iMac Pro has not been significantly updated since its launch in 2017. Since then, the most expensive configurations of the normal 27-inch iMac have given the iMac Pro a chance to make money in terms of performance and features.
Up to that point, Apple said that the non-Pro 27-inch iMac was the most popular iMac, and that the expensive but powerful Mac Pro was available for those who needed more powerful hardware for certain use cases.
Apple updated the 27-inch iMac last summer, shortly after announcing that the entire Mac product line will move from Intel processors to Apple’s own designed silicone.
Bloomberg and others have mentioned people familiar with Apple’s plans to report that the company expects to update the iMac with a new design and Apple Silicon processors later this year, along with similar updates to the MacBook Pro and a newly redesigned MacBook Air.
The Mac Pro is not expected to get an Apple Silicon version until next year, and some reports have suggested that a smaller Apple Silicon Mac Pro may coexist with the larger Intel-based Tower PC for at least some time.
