The iMac Pro is an all-in-one workstation computer that was announced by Apple on June 5 during the 2017 Worldwide Developers Conference. It was developed while work was still being carried out on a replacement for the aging 2nd-generation Mac Pro from 2013.[1] The iMac Pro was released on December 14, 2017 as the flagship configuration of Apple's iMac series of desktop computers.[2] On March 5, 2021, Apple removed build-to-order configurations as the remaining inventory of iMac Pros were identified as "while supplies last".[3][4] It was discontinued on the following March 19th.[5]
Features[]
Based around Intel's high-end Xeon processor with a Retina 5K display, the iMac Pro was marketed towards professional users as an all-in-one alternative to the Mac Pro. It was only available in a darker "space gray" finish with matching peripherals.[6]
