Are you convinced by these 7 reasons why Apple is considering canceling the Mac Pro?

Apple may continue to "discontinue" some of our favorite products recently. Many people mentioned that they are worried that Apple will make Mac Pro a thing of the past, and some readers also mentioned that "traditional Apple products have absolute advantages and disadvantages." We have actually mentioned the advantages and disadvantages of Mac Pro many times. After all, it is already a relatively old product. So, from today's perspective, what is the reason for Apple to cancel the Mac Pro series? Analysts gave 7 reasons.

However, he also mentioned that Apple might be ready to release a new Mac Pro product, so he hopes that he is wrong to think that Apple will discontinue the Mac Pro product line.

First, it is very painful to rethink the Mac Pro. Apple has to "regress" in strategy. For some professionals, they hope to obtain some convenient but not advanced functions and expandability, but Apple's style is to keep moving forward, constantly bringing new functions and looking to the future. Imagine that the Mac Pro launched in 2017 is equipped with many USB-C ports? This is obviously not in line with the current style of Apple Mac computers, so in Apple's eyes, this may also be considered a "retreat".

Second, can it only cater to professionals? Professionals like to live with their computers, and they do have needs, and those technical experts also have needs for Apple. Unfortunately, Apple's design often overrides the quirky technical needs of individuals, and from Apple's perspective, in addition to satisfying professionals, they also want to satisfy more consumers. Apple will also tell us through its actions that it is unscientific to only focus on serving a small circle.

Third, the desire to sell. Technicians like sales representatives who have deep technical knowledge because they have enough influence to help them solve problems, but unfortunately, such sales representatives are very rare. Apple likes to inspire ordinary consumers with a product, and Apple hopes to serve consumers in a simpler and more direct way in retail stores. Therefore, it is a very unfamiliar idea to make or break the technical details of a product for scientists or engineers.

Fourth, return on investment. Apple is sometimes ruthless. When a product line no longer brings profits... We all know that the Mac Pro does not account for a large proportion of Apple's Mac computer sales, but it has a whole factory in Austin. So from this perspective, it seems reasonable for Apple to reorganize and allocate resources and cut the Mac Pro production line. When the investment and return are not proportional, I believe any company will take action.

Fifth, enterprise depth. Apple has always wanted to enter the enterprise market. Over the years, Apple has made a lot of efforts to penetrate the enterprise market, and now Apple products are beginning to be popular in the professional field.

However, Apple also realizes that some companies already have very rich expertise in the enterprise market, such as Dell, HP, IBM and Microsoft, etc. It is very difficult for Apple to compete with them. Therefore, Apple will now choose key areas and choose to cooperate with IBM, rather than relying on a certain product to penetrate the enterprise market.

Sixth, mobility. There is no doubt that the world has begun to lean towards the "mobile field". The information on the iPhone can be backed up to the cloud storage, and this operation is so simple. But what about the Mac Pro? Its operating system requires strict expansion and corresponding backup functions, which is a difficult task. Times have changed, and our habits have also changed.

Seventh, monitors and desktops. When the Thunderbolt display is placed next to the Mac Pro, we will think that they are a perfect match, but now, the 2017 Mac Pro (if there is one) can only be paired with the LG UltraFine 5K display. If Apple really continues to have confidence in third-party display manufacturers, it is obvious that the display paired with the Mac Pro 2017 will definitely not be Apple's own product.

However, if the Mac Pro continues to maintain its cylindrical design, I wonder if consumers will be interested in such a combination. After all, those monitors are aimed at MacBook Pro or other Apple computer models, not Mac Pro. "There are many reasons why Apple wants to cancel or update the Mac Pro product line. These are just the reasons why I think Apple is considering canceling the Mac Pro. Of course, I also hope that my idea is wrong." The analyst mentioned.
