Apple’s iPhone 16 launch event is right around the corner, and the company is already gearing up to hold another event to announce its highly anticipated M4 Macs. It was reported recently that the company has four M4-powered Macs in the works with varying configurations, and we suspect that one of them will be part of the Mac mini. However, the company also plans to announce the MacBook Pro models as well with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, an upgrade that has been in the works for a while.
Apple to launch new M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro models in November, 24-inch M4 iMac, and a redesigned Mac mini in the works as well
As per information obtained by MacRumors, it is likely that Apple will hold another event in November to announce the new M4 Macs. The publication has shared details from an unknown source, but does not state it, possibly keeping it anonymous from the eyes of Apple. According to the reliable source, Apple’s M4-powered Macs will announced two months after the “It’s Glowtime” iPhone 16 launch event on September 9.
The source has not shared the exact dates and time frames, it only stated the likeliness of Apple taking the center stage again in November. However, this does not rule out the possibility that the M4 Macs could arrive even early in October, similar to last year. Apple typically holds its event by the end of the year. Except, last year the company saw fit to announce the new Macs on October 23, which means that it could once again surprise us with the products early.
We have to take note that the final word rests with Apple as we were expecting the company to hold its iPhone 16 event on September 10, but the officially announcement was a day early. Additionally, there is a possibility that the announcements will take place in October and the launch will happen in November, but we will wait for the final details to arrive before speculating further on the dates.
There are a slew of Macs on Apple’s table that are due for an upgrade, including the Mac mini, iMac, and the new MacBook Pro models. We are expecting the company to announce the M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro models in both 14 and 16 inch sizes along with a redesigned Mac mini. The Mac mini is currently expected to undergo a redesign with rumors suggesting that it will be thinner than before. One of the new machines that we are anxiously waiting for is the 24-inch iMac with an M4 chip.
For the first time, the company could see fit to let go of the 8GB RAM and offer 16GB as the base variant, a change that has been constantly mentioned by reviewers and the tech community. We suspect Apple will make the same change next year with the release of the MacBook Air lineup, which will be a worthwhile upgrade.
