Apple began the process with the M1, which is being used in its consumer-targetted Macs: the MacBook Air, entry-level MacBook Pro and Mac mini models and the 24in iMac. Apple is in the middle of a transition from Intel to its own, home made, processors. There’s one other thing to consider if you are looking to buy a Mac right now.
This is crucial for those who want to future proof these extremely expensive machines. But perhaps the most satisfying change for creatives is the fact that the Mac Pro is expandable and upgradable by the user.
In fact, although the Mac Pro is incredibly expensive it’s actually very good value for money if you need those components that are offered as build to order options. It answers many of the wishes of creatives and video professionals with extremely powerful components and a more suitable design. The Mac Pro is the Mac Pro that Apple should have introduced in 2013. Although as a very niche machine it could still be argued that the traditional creative pros who used to buy the G4 Power Mac still don’t have a Mac that suits their needs at a price point that is right for them. If people are concerned that the neglect of the iMac Pro suggests that Apple’s not really learned it’s lesson and is continuing to neglect creative pros, the existence of the Mac Pro should go some way to indicate that’s not the case. The iMac Pro hasn’t been updated since it launched and, surprise surprise, Apple discontinued it in the spring of 2021. Then, perhaps unfortunately for iMac Pro fans, Apple focused on developing the Mac Pro which arrived at the end of 2019. This iMac in a new Space Grey design had a high price but had the workstation processors and graphics cards to match. The iMac Pro arrived first in December 2017. The breakthrough came in 2016 when Apple admitted that it had designed itself into a corner with the Mac Pro and revealed that it was making big plans for Macs that would answer the prayers of creatives. Apple even employees a few professional creatives to help it create the machines that they want and need. In those years it seems that Apple learned a few lessons about listening to creatives. The Mac Pro wasn’t updated at all from 2013 until 2019 when the new Mac Pro arrived.

The problem with the 2013 Mac Pro was that it wasn’t constrained by its design to such an extent that Apple couldn’t even update it.
