Apple abandons high‑end desktops

Apple has quietly removed the Mac Pro from sale and says it has no plans for future models, after also discontinuing its Pro Display XDR. That signals Apple is exiting the niche market for modular, upgradeable professional towers and consolidating pro compute into integrated machines (Mac Studio) or cloud workflows. — This matters because it changes where professionals get compute (local tower vs vendor‑controlled integrated devices or cloud), with implications for competition, repairability, workstation supply chains, and data‑center demand.
