We’ve been waiting for a new Mac Pro for a while. Click here to find everything there is to know about the Mac Pro 2019.
Beyond Apple asserting support of the new Mac Pro through a press release for the iMac Pro sale date nearly two years ago, we don’t know much about what Apple’s plans are with the computer. One of the very few things that we do know is that Apple has heard the public outcry for a Mac Pro 2019 and has hinted in early 2017 that it’s working on a ‘modular’ and ‘upgradeable’ Mac Pro – whatever that means.through a press releaseiMac Proworking on a ‘modular’ and ‘upgradeable’
We also know that this new Mac Pro is coming this year, though we can’t say exactly when it’s going to surface. Apple could potentially release it whenever, much like the iMac 2019, but we’re betting on a WWDC 2019 appearance, as rumors have previously suggested, alongside the much anticipated macOS 10.15 and iOS 13. new Mac Pro is coming this yeariMac 2019WWDC 2019macOS 10.15iOS 13
However, because Apple is often marches to the beat of its own drum, we could see the Mac Pro 2019 release whenever the tech company feels like putting it out there.
If the new Mac Pro 2019 is going to be modular, like Apple suggests, what will that look like? Will it look like a juiced up HomePod? And, what will be upgradeable? Before we dive into all the limitless speculation, let’s lay out some basics.
Back in 2017, we expected with near certainty that the new Mac Pro was going to be one of the products Apple had slated to unveil in 2018. Obviously, we were mistaken. It turns out the new Mac Pro has been confirmed for a 2019 release date.
The current Mac Pro computer debuted at the June 2013 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), with a December 2013 final release date. Of course, many purchasers didn’t get their computers until April 2014 on account of backorders.
Given how long its been since the previous update to the Mac Pro, it would be unwise for Apple to drive the asking price any higher.
Before that, the original Mac Pro was revealed to the world at the August 2006 WWDC, getting into the public’s hands within the same month.
Rumors point to a WWDC 2019 announcement, and that would make sense since it’s a professional device, though we’re still not exactly sure what to expect. Either way, WWDC is almost here, so we won’t have to wait long to find out whether or not these rumors hold any water. WWDC 2019 announcement,
If WWDC 2019 comes and goes without any new hardware, much like it did last year, we could see Apple holding a special Mac Pro event, much like its October 2018 Mac event. Or, we could just see Apple release the new Mac Pro under the radar, much like the MacBook Pro or iMac 2019, especially considering that it is a professional computing device with a limited audience.

We have absolutely no Mac Pro 2019 pricing information from neither leaks nor Apple’s own remarks on the device. So, once again we’re left to speculate based on the pricing of previous Mac Pro models.
