We knew that M4-powered MacBooks were on the horizon, and it seems that the wait is almost over. The company just announced that new Macs will be unveiled next week.
Exciting News from Apple
Greg Joswiak, Apple's marketing chief, shared this information on X (previously known as Twitter). However, his announcement is a bit vague, lacking a specific date for the launch. He simply stated, “We have an exciting week of announcements ahead, starting on Monday morning. Stay tuned…”
What to Look Forward To
From what we can gather, the new Mac announcements will take place over the course of an entire week. While the teaser visuals don’t give away too much, they hint that the new Mac line will emphasize Apple’s AI capabilities. This aligns with the recent promotion of the iPhone 16 series and the iPad mini 7.
What can we anticipates from the upcoming MacBook event? The M4 chip made its first appearance earlier this year in the new iPad, showcasing enhancements in AI processing and overall CPU performance.
Early Insights
Interestingly, a Russian YouTuber managed to unbox and run benchmark tests on the M4 MacBook Pro ahead of time. The design appears to stay consistent, boasting numerous ports, bright and fluid displays, and a responsive keyboard.
The MacBook Pro is expected to be available in both 14-inch and 16-inch models. In addition, there are rumors of an M4 Mac Mini, a 24-inch iMac, plus accessories like the Magic Keyboard 2, Magic Mouse 2, and Magic Trackpad 2.
Powerful Upgrades Ahead
There’s also a chance we might see Apple’s stronger M4 chips, including the M4 Pro and M4 Max. However, it seems that other Mac models won’t be making their debut anytime soon. The M4 MacBook Air probably won’t launch until early 2025, and updates for the Mac Studio and Mac Pro may take even longer. The latter is rumored to feature the M4 Ultra chip. So, if you’re looking forward to Apple’s latest tech, the M4 MacBook Pro might be your best bet in the near future.
