Key Takeaways
- A week of Mac launches beginning on October 28th has been hinted at by Apple.
- They are probably M4 Macs, which includes the M4 MacBook Pro.
- An iMac revamp and a tiny Mac mini may also be visible.
Beginning on October 28th, Apple has promised a week of Mac announcements, most likely including M4 systems, which include the MacBook Pro.
Greg Joswiak, senior vice president of marketing, hinted at an “exciting week” to come. Although the images don’t reveal much, they give the impression that the next Macs will be designed with Apple Intelligence in mind, which is not surprising given how Apple has positioned the iPad mini 7 and iPhone 16 family.
Many anticipate that Apple will reveal several M4 Macs the following week. The focal point ought to be the previously leaked M4 MacBook Pro. Although it may seem similar to the M3 model, it is anticipated to include at least 16GB of RAM and offer noticeable performance improvements, particularly in the M4 Pro and M4 Max variants. Additionally, the base M4 versions may include three Thunderbolt ports instead of the two that their predecessors had.
A tiny M4 Mac mini, which is around the size of an Apple TV and has more handy ports than its larger predecessor, is one of the other expected arrivals. A redesigned M4 iMac with a speedier CPU and USB-C versions of the Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad may also be shown.
But you probably won’t see other Macs. Early 2025 is when an M4 MacBook Air is anticipated, and Mac Studio and Mac Pro improvements may be even further off. Therefore, if you insist on purchasing Apple’s newest silicon, the M4 MacBook Pro might be your only option for the foreseeable future.
But unlike the M3, Apple seems determined to upgrade the entire Mac lineup to the M4. Additionally unique is the company’s strategy for launching the gear. Apple is promoting days of introductions rather than a single big event, as it did with the “Scary Fast” M3 launch last year. The company is speculating that a constant flow of news will be at least as successful.
