The report author thinks that it will take a long time to develop a new Mac Pro, and concludes that “I think we can expect the new Mac Pro late 2018 at the earliest, but most likely it won’t be until early 2019 before it ships.” The decision to go ahead and develop a modular Mac Pro replacement seems to have been made only in recent months, with development starting only a few weeks ago,” according to the report.

We want to architect it so that we can keep it fresh with regular improvements, and we’re committed to making it our highest-end, high-throughput desktop system, designed for our demanding pro customers. “Something great for our pro customers” Phil SchillerĪt the time Apple’s Phil Schiller said: “We have a team working hard on it right now.
