Apple's outrageous $700 wheels for its desktop computer are no longer available.

      The $700 Apple wheels are gone, long live absurd tech accessories

      Apple has officially retired the Mac Pro, which also means that the $700 Mac Pro Wheels Kit is no more.

      Even in 2026, that statement remains amusing. It signifies the end of one of the company's most notorious desktop accessories. For those who might not be familiar with this saga, the Wheels Kit debuted in 2020 as an upgrade for the Mac Pro. It allowed users to add wheels for $400, but purchasing the standalone kit later would set you back a staggering $700 since the base model already came with standard feet. Apple also offered a separate $300 Feet Kit for those looking to revert back to the original setup.

      What made this accessory so memorable?

      The Mac Pro wheels were never truly about portability. They represented Apple’s knack for pricing even the simplest hardware as if it belonged in a luxury catalog. To be fair, Apple has a history of this. The company’s Pro Stand famously launched at $999, notorious for prompting reactions of disbelief with "wait, that’s just the stand?" in consumer tech.

      Apple also continues to sell its Polishing Cloth for $19, proving that even cleaning a screen can be a premium experience.

      Apple isn’t the only brand with overpriced accessories.

      Ridiculous accessories aren’t unique to Apple. Tesla once sold a stainless steel Cyberwhistle for $50, which is just what it sounds like: a whistle. Nintendo also transformed a bedside staple into a novelty item with its $100 Alarmo alarm clock. We recently discussed a leather-clad Apple Watch charger from Hermès priced over $5,000.

      The wheels may be discontinued, but the humor remains.

      With Apple’s discontinuation, current Mac Pro owners can no longer purchase the official wheels or feet kits directly. However, the larger narrative is quite symbolic. The $700 wheels always seemed to represent more than the actual product. They became a meme, a display of excess, and a reminder that in the tech world, luxury pricing can render almost anything a source of amusement.
