An executive did assure me, however, that new models and new designs are under way, probably for release in 2013.

MacDailyNews Note: Pogue’s direct quote: “Many Apple observers also wonder if Apple thinks that desktop computers are dead, since not a word was said about the iMac and Mac Pro. Portnoy reports, “One reason for a possible iMac delay is that Apple could be perfecting desktop Retina Display monitors.” Chatting with a company executive after the keynote, Pogue heard that ‘new models and new designs’ were underway for both the iMac and Mac Pro, for probable release in 2013.”

Portnoy reports, “According to New York Times tech columnist David Pogue, Apple says that isn’t the case. “So has the electronics giant finally dumped the desktop?” That might mean a midrange Mac Pro, which would be great, unless that's the spot Apple intends an updated Mac Mini to fill.“You may have noticed that yesterday’s WWDC keynote address didn’t mention Apple’s desktops at all, and, in fact, the limited updates to the Mac Pro were only announced after the main event,” Sean Portnoy reports for ZDNet. There are rumors about the M1-based 32-inch iMac with a high-end display and an updated Mac Mini, but we've also been waiting patiently for a less pricey version of its Pro Display XDR. Will Apple have a line of increasingly powerful single-die CPUs or will it double and triple up on the existing M1s? Will it create new graphics modules by spinning off the GPU integrated into the M1s or will it continue to rely on AMD's Radeon Pro GPUs? Inquiring minds want to know. We've yet to see how Apple plans to scale its M1 lineup to a system that traditionally relies on discrete graphics and more than the 10 CPU cores in its current M1 Max as well.

To switch to its own processors from the Intel Xeon CPUs and update to more modern, high-bandwidth standards (like PCIe 4 and DDR5) probably requires a redesigned motherboard, hopefully still retaining the socketed CPU design. That probably means Apple won't redesign the chassis significantly, especially given that Apple updates its hardware designs infrequently under normal circumstances. Apple needs to continue to support its existing installed base of Mac Pros with upgrades, because one of the points of a high-end, upgradable system like this is that it lasts more than a few years. The system itself probably wouldn't ship until October at the earliest.

If there are any new or unique capabilities that Apple's planning to add with the annual operating system update, software developers need to be the first to know. While we don't know anything more specific than that, my guess is the new model will be announced at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference, which usually happens in early June. Some will arrive sometime in May or June, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a seasoned Apple-watcher. James Martin/CNET Apples Mac Pro first arrived in 2019. There is little information about the potential new product (including whether the Mac Pro was one of the models filed), but this could hint that Apple will be releasing new computers in addition to the new Mac Studio fairly soon. And Apple just discontinued the 27-inch iMac on Tuesday.Īpple has filed three new Mac computers in the Eurasian Economic Database, according to French site Consomac. We're almost certain a new Mac Pro will come this year - the Mac Pro and iMac 27-inch are the last models left for Apple to hit its self-imposed two-year deadline to complete the switch from third-party processors to its own.

We've paired Apple precedent with our own analysis to arrive at some good guesses for what the M1 Mac Pro could look like.

But some sort of M1 Ultra Mac Pro is likely on the horizon - Apple hinted as much at the end of Tuesday's event. Here is what About this Mac now says: Mac Pro (Mid 2012) Processor 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.

It didn't happen at yesterday's Apple event, where the company introduced the Mac Studio desktop plus the option to power it up with the brand-new M1 Ultra chip. OK, I ordered and installed the new Graphics Card. The Mac Pro, Apple's desktop workstation, arrived in 2019 - and it's a safe bet that a new version will launch in 2022.
