The Mac Pro (2019) release date was confirmed by Apple itself in an email sent to selected customers.
While it’s not certain exactly how long units will take to make their way to customers, you might find a new Mac Pro under your tree for Christmas (if you have a loving relative with very deep pockets).
Therehad been rumorsof a December launch date, and indeed Apple was fast running out of time to make good on its promise that the Mac Pro and the Pro Display XDR were “coming this fall”.
The hardware was originally shown off atWWDC 2019back in June, but we’ve had to wait until now for an official launch date – and there have beenthree new iPhonesand anew MacBook Prosince then.

We’re still waiting for Apple to clarify the Mac Pro configurations and pricing, but expect full details on December 10. We do know that the base model is going to cost you a hefty $5,999 (about £4,565 / AU$8,765).
That will get you an octa-coreIntelXeon W chip, 32GB of memory andAMDRadeon Pro 580X graphics. Once you start upgrading those different components, the price is going to rise even higher.
