Apple discontinued the Mac Pro in March and said it has no plans for successor hardware, ending its highest-performance desktop line-up. TechRadar reported the workstation lost market appeal as the Mac Studio gained ground and AI data centre demand pushed up component prices.

The plan is seen as widening memory limits for professional users.
