Given Apple's current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it's for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

Meaningless clickbait. It’s still sold, and Apple doesn’t announce future plans, so this is directly out of someone’s ass.

    In a "Mac Pro" you want a Mac that is built like a PC, but Apple doesn't build Macs like that anymore.

    The new Mac Pro is a Mac mini or Studio running a Pro chip (or higher). But it's not like the old Mac Pro.

    You can't get a Macintosh Performa anymore, either, but you can buy an Apple Vision Pro. I wouldn't, but you can.
