The Mac Pro didn’t disappear overnight. For years, it slowly lost its place in Apple’s lineup, becoming harder to justify with each new release. What once represented the peak of Apple’s desktop power began to feel out of sync with a company moving in a different direction.

In this episode, I take a step back and look at how that shift happened. From the early days of the Power Mac to the rise of Apple Silicon, the Mac Pro’s identity changed piece by piece until it no longer made sense in the way it once did. Not because it failed, but because everything around it evolved.

This isn’t just about one machine going away. It’s about what replaces it, and what that says about where computing is heading.
