The Mac Studio and Mac Pro with M4 Ultra are coming in 2025. Apple definitely hasn’t forgotten about them.
Apple to Launch Mac Studio and Mac Pro with Brand New M4 Ultra Chips in 2025
Every single talk surrounds the M4 MacBook Pro or the upcoming M4 Mac mini and its redesign. In fact, the M4 MacBook Pro has been leaked to smithereens and there’s nothing left to see.
However, in all the noise, no-one even mentioned the Mac Studio or Mac Pro. But, according to Mark Gurman, those wonderful computers will get the big upgrade they deserve in 2025.
The M4 Mac Studio is set to be announced some time around WWDC 2025, while the M4 Mac Pro is set to be announced later in 2025. Do keep in mind computers like the Mac Studio and Mac Pro don’t get upgraded too often, unlike the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac.
Also, Apple always does something special for its high-end lineup of Macs. For example, it’s the only devices in the Mac lineup that feature the ‘Ultra’ chip so we can expect the M4 Ultra to make its debut with the upcoming Mac Studio and Mac Pro models.
In terms of redesign, there’s no word on it yet. But, given how Apple silicon is all about efficiency, I’ll be surprised if Apple sticks with the massive Mac Pro chassis. I understand a lot of people are going to jump in to defend it, but a little bit of compactness will go a long way for those with tighter spaces in their workspace.
I believe the Mac Studio is a far better choice for professional workflows, especially if you are not looking into expansion slots, something the Mac Pro excels at. The Mac Studio is compact, packs a ton of power, has all the ports, and can be paired with the accessories of your choice. It’s basically a Mac mini but dialed all the way to 100.
Speaking of Mac mini, I hope Apple’s upcoming smaller Mac does not lose out on power when going smaller. It should be available with a M4 Pro option, if the M2 Mac mini is anything to go by. However, Apple can really drive buyers wild by offering the Mac mini with a M4 Max option, but I know it won’t happen unless the company is ready to eat into other lineups.
