Apple’s new workstation class Mac Pro received FCC certification in October, suggesting it will ship soon.
Electronic devices made or sold in the US require the Federal Communications Commission to certify they won’t generate unacceptable electromagnetic interference in use. In the case of past Apple products, the FCC typically disclosed certification shortly before the device concerned was released.
Against this, oddly, Apple’s FCC application form for the Mac Pro has a “confidentiality release date” of April 27, 2020, so there’s a chance this is the planned shipping date.
When Apple announced the new Mac Pro at its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 3, it promised a “Fall 2019” release. In late September, Apple revealed the new-gen Mac Pro “will begin production soon” at the same facility in Austin, Texas, where the previous, trashcan–shape Mac Pro has been made since 2013.
