It's official — the 13-inch MacBook Pro is discontinued - Tom's Guide
Apple has axed the 13-inch MacBook Pro
www.tomsguide.comI don’t have live data access right now to pull the very latest headlines beyond my current view. If you’d like, I can summarize the recent coverage I know about and suggest how to verify the newest updates quickly.
Short answer: As of late 2023, Apple discontinued the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and newer models center around the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M2/M3-series chips. If “laptop 13 pro” refers to that lineage, the current official 13-inch Pro line isn’t being updated, and most news focuses on the larger Pro models or alternative brands’ ultrabooks.
