Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow
Apple has officially discontinued the Mac Pro, ending its 20-year tower computer history. The $7,000 machine, powered by the M2 Ultra chip, failed due to a lack of support for add-on GPUs and memory expansion. This marks a shift toward higher integration and eliminates demand for the M2 Ultra SoC.
