The new Mac Pro sure looks a lot like a cheese grater, but it turns out that it’s pretty bad at grating cheese.

There has been no shortage of shade thrown at the new Mac Pro grille ever since it was revealed at WWDC 2019. Cheesy Mac Pro jokes popped up on Twitter all month. One modder turned an old cheese grater into a working Mac Pro. Meanwhile, Ikea made an ad poking fun at Apple’s design.
