    Apple Gears Up for M4 MacBook Pro Launch with Increased Production

    Apple recently held the ‘It’s Glowtime’ event last month, during which they introduced the iPhone 16 series, new AirPods, and a new Watch. However, there were no new MacBooks or iPads shown at this event.

    Possible October Event

    There have been rumors online suggesting that Apple might host another event in October, where they could reveal the latest MacBooks and Mac Minis that come with the M4 chip.

    Even though Apple hasn’t confirmed this rumored event yet, it seems like the release of new MacBooks is on the horizon.

    New MacBook Pros on the Way

    A recent report from DigiTimes indicates that Apple is preparing to launch new MacBook Pro M4 models in October 2024, potentially providing a short-term uplift in the sluggish notebook market.

    The report pointed out that revenue reports from component makers like Jarllytec and Shin Zu Shing for September show an increase in shipments, thanks to Apple’s upcoming launch.

    Exciting New Releases

    Alongside the MacBook Pro M4, there are also claims about a redesigned Mac Mini M4. This mini PC is expected to be about the same size as an Apple TV and will feature USB-C ports.

    In case you haven’t heard, Apple announced the iPad Mini 7 yesterday. This device follows the iPad Mini 6 (currently priced at $379.99 on Amazon), which hit the market in 2021. Pre-orders for the iPad Mini 7 are now open.

    Over the last few months, there has been a flood of leaks and speculation about what Apple might unveil at its anticipated October event. While the company in Cupertino hasn’t officially announced the event, recent information and industry experts suggest it is likely, with M4-equipped MacBook Pros and entry-level iPads expected to be the highlights.

    New MacBook Pro Packaging

    Recently, a tweet from ShrimpApplePro featured an image that seems to show the packaging for the upcoming 14-inch MacBook Pro, which will include the M4 system on chip (SoC), 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. The authenticity of the image is still uncertain, but there hasn’t been any strong evidence to dispute it.

    Upgraded Specifications

    The packaging appears to confirm that Apple will increase the base model’s RAM to 16 GB. While it’s possible this box could belong to a customized version, that’s unlikely, as Apple typically doesn’t list the details for built-to-order (BTO) models on the outer packaging.

    Additionally, prior reports indicated that the M4 MacBook Pros began mass production at the end of last month, making it plausible that they have already been packaged and could be ready to ship if the event occurs as expected.

    Expected Lineup

    The new M4 MacBook Pro lineup is rumored to include 14-inch and 16-inch models available in M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max configurations. With the rise of powerful processors from AMD and Intel, the anticipation for Apple’s M4 series is high among Apple enthusiasts. If the rumors about their upcoming release are accurate, we will soon see if Apple’s latest chips can outperform their x86 rivals or fall short.
