Who designed the iMac Pro?

Like each of the earlier non-Pro iMac models, the iMac Pro series was designed in-house by Apple's Industrial Design Group, then headed by Jonathan Ive.

Where can I sell an iMac Pro model?

What are the custom configuration options for the iMac Pro?

The original default iMac Pro configuration, which EveryMac.com refers to as the iMac Pro "8-Core" 3.2 27-Inch (5K, Late 2017), could be configured with a faster processor, a more powerful graphics processor, more memory, and more storage.

Apple discontinued the original model on August 4, 2020, and made the iMac Pro "10-Core" 3.0 27-Inch (5K, Late 2017) -- originally a custom processor option -- the standard configuration. The iMac Pro was discontinued entirely on March 19, 2021.

Custom Processor Options

• 10-Core Xeon W-2150B
• 14-Core Xeon W-2170B
• 18-Core Xeon W-2191B

Custom Graphics Processor Option

• Radeon Pro Vega 64 (16 GB HMB2)
• Radeon Pro Vega 64X (16 GB HMB2)

Custom Memory Options (2666 MHz DDR EEC)

• 64 GB
• 128 GB
• 256 GB

Custom Storage Options (SSD)

• 2 TB SSD
• 4 TB SSD

It is worth noting that it is possible, albeit needlessly difficult, to upgrade the RAM yourself after purchase. It is likely possible to upgrade the processor, although it is unlikely to be cost effective for some time. It may be possible to upgrade the SSD. It is not possible to upgrade the video processor at all.

Apple very much intends for the iMac Pro to be a sealed box that is reliant on external expansion. If you had the budget for any of these custom configurations, it was wise to perform them at the time of intial system purchase because later upgrades are difficult at best. On the used market, options are more limited, but systems that already have been upgraded internally should be of more interest upfront for many users.
