A Spellbinding Week in Apple News Likely Unveils the Alleged M4 MacBook
Next week is shaping up to be an exciting time for Apple enthusiasts. With its 7th-gen iPad mini recently unveiled, the tech giant is gearing up for an "exciting week of announcements" commencing on Monday. Given the reliable rumors swirling around, we're anticipating more than just a new tablet.
Apple Senior Vice President of Marketing, Greg Joswiak, has subtly hinted at upcoming Mac products. His cryptic tweet, encouraging Apple fans to "stay tuned," is a blatant sign that we're heading for new Mac releases, just in time for Halloween festivities.
The most popular theory pointed towards new MacBook Pros, Mac Minis, and iMacs armed with the M4 chip, marking the next phase in iOS 18. According to Apple insider Mark Gurman, we can expect these releases around the end of October.
In the rumor mill, a budget-friendly 14-inch MacBook Pro featuring the base M4 chip is on the horizon, accompanied by 16-inch versions boasting the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. To top it off, there's talk of a revamped 24-inch iMac to replace the M3 version. However, the notch housing the webcam seems to be sticking around for another round.
The most buzzworthy reveal might be the newly sized Mac Mini, touted to be smaller than its M2 predecessor and equipped with three USB-C ports and an HDMI connection.
The M4 chip, debuted in the 2024 iPad Pro, should offer a slight performance boost over the M3 in laptop form. Its purpose is to prepare desktop products for the upcoming Apple Intelligence features in macOS Sequoia.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also hints at M4-equipped MacBook Airs, previously rumored to make an appearance between January and March. But for the high-end Mac Studio, we might have to wait a little longer.
Additionally, whispers of a revamped iPhone SE with a custom-built 5G chip and upgrades to the Apple Vision Pro with the M5 chip have been doing the rounds, though no official announcement has been made yet.
