Apple Insider reports that Apple appears to now be winding down shipments to resellers in preparation to launch a newly redesigned professional-grade desktop later this year

This is the first time the Mac Pro has been spotted sold out at so many authorized resellers, and is likely a sign that Apple is winding down — or has halted — production of the current model.

That comes as no surprise, as Apple uncharacteristically offered a sneak peek for its new cylinder-shaped Mac Pro at its Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month. Apple usually does not show off a new product until it is ready to ship, or at least has a specific launch window.
