After Apple introduced its M4 chip earlier this year, which brought significant performance improvements (more on this in this article) M4 iPad Pro review), all eyes are on what the company has in store for Mac and MacBook devices that still use the M3 chip for now.
Thanks to Greg Jozwiak, Apple’s vice president of worldwide marketing, we have the biggest hint that M4-powered Macs are on their way out. Who made fun of X? The upcoming “Announcement Week” is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 28th. Recent rumors regarding the production of the M4 MacBook Airit looks like it could be a very exciting week for Apple fans. So here’s what we’re looking forward to.
M4 MacBook Pro
Apple’s M4 Pro and Max chips have yet to be announced, so this showcase is ideal to show off variants of the powerful M4, especially since M4 MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models will almost certainly be announced. It could be a great opportunity. We hope we can highlight the significant performance jump from the previous M3 Pro and Max chips.
russian youtuber Wylascom allegedly leaked a new model of MacBook Pro It’s powered by a standard M4 chip, and if legitimate, the laptop’s base configuration would utilize a 10-core CPU and GPU, similar to the M4 iPad Pro, rather than the M3’s 8-core CPU, potentially increasing the shows a new focus. This article is about Apple Intelligence (the company’s fledgling venture into artificial intelligence), but of course the Wylascom information should be taken with a grain of salt.
One change from last year’s M3 version is that the base model of the new MacBook Pro now comes with at least 16GB of unified memory instead of 8GB. This is very beneficial for the game. A remarkable new focus on Mac devices In recent releases like resident evil 4 Remake. Of course, laptops sold to content creators and professionals in 2024 will actually only have 8 GB of memory.
M4 Mac Mini
Alongside the announcement of the M4 MacBook Pro, a redesigned M4 Mac mini is also expected to be unveiled, with Apple reportedly planning to make it the company’s smallest computer ever. bloomberg’s Mark Gurman (who has a great reputation as a reliable leaker of all things Apple). Its size is expected to be similar to the Apple TV, and it should prove very beneficial for those looking for a sleek desktop setup.
Fortunately, the integrated memory will reportedly start at 16GB and go up to 32GB. As mentioned earlier, 8GB RAM in Windows PCs and Macs has long been criticized for being underpowered, and it’s great to see Apple finally break away from this trend with its M4-powered devices.
M4 iMac
Gurman’s report (among other leaks) suggests that we’ll also be getting an updated iMac as part of next week’s announcement schedule. There’s not much to say about the next iMac other than the M4 chip itself. However, the good news is that so is Apple. Reportedly ready to unveil new magic accessorieswhich includes the new Magic Mouse.
We expect the M4 iMac to come standard with 16GB of unified memory here as well. The M3 model was configurable up to 16GB or 32GB, while the base model only had 8GB. I really hope Apple doesn’t do the same thing again. .
Beyond 2024 – M4 MacBook Air
As mentioned earlier, the M4 MacBook Air is almost certainly still coming – in fact, it’s rumored to be at the top of Apple’s 2025 release schedule. This makes sense considering the following Recent slump in Mac sales product, and the popularity of the MacBook Air – Apple probably wants to introduce a new and improved version of its biggest selling laptop as soon as possible (without bothering anyone who recently bought an M3 model) .
as Reported by Mark GarmanThe M4 MacBook Air will reportedly remain the same in terms of design, with the M4 chip being the only major change.
This is good news for those looking forward to purchasing a MacBook Air. The difference between the 8GB and 16GB unified memory models was huge in the M3 model, so we expect the same to be true for the upcoming M4 MacBook Air.
M4 Mac Studio
Finally, Apple is likely focused on producing the M4 MacBook Air for early 2025, so a slightly unloved chunky product called Mac Studio is expected to arrive alongside the M4 at a later date (this (according to Garman’s sources). Mac Studio is essentially a powerful mini PC similar to the larger Mac mini, but aimed at creative professionals. It was claimed that it would be produced alongside the MacBook Air, but this has apparently changed. Current expectations are between March and June, so it won’t be that long after the MacBook Air launches.
Is there a particular Mac product you’re looking forward to? Let us know on social media – there’s no doubt that the new MacBook Pro is the main event planned for Apple’s upcoming “announcement week.” To be honest, I’d be more interested in a reimagined Mac mini if it were really set up. It will be Apple’s smallest computer.
