Apple’s priciest computer now has another expensive accessory available. The company just added the option to add a $700 set of wheels to your Mac Pro, which comes with a kit to attach them yourself. That’s the same price as an iPhone 11.
With a hefty maxed out price tag of more than $50,000, the machine is designed for professionals. The massive price tag has drawn comparisons to the wheels of a car and other Apple products.
For $700, you get four wheels, an installation guide, and a hex bit for installation, though Apple says additional tools are required.
