Maybe we'll even get a revival of the iMac Pro at some point.

The Mac Studio, especially, is an absolutely beast, boasting the M1 Ultra chip and a Mac mini-like design, but having to also buy a 5K display is a pain – and one an iMac immediately solves. So much so that Apple actually came out and apologised (opens in new tab) back in 2017 for neglecting that segment of users, at a time when the Mac Pro was flagging.Īpple Silicon has changed the game but we're still waiting to see the uber-powerful Mac Pro with M1 Extreme (or even M2 chip), which would make perfect sense of as the crowning jewel of the Mac empire.
