【World Of Single Jaye (2020)】

The World Of Single Jaye (2020)next crop of M4 Macs are coming soon, according to Apple leaker Mark Gurman. The first group of M4 Macs are reportedly due later this year (while a few other sets are dropping next year).

We got a sneak peek of the M4 chip's power when Apple introduced it alongside the iPad Pro. This is the first time the Cupertino-based tech giant has ever rolled out an M-series chip on an iPad before debuting it on a Mac.

Why did Apple make this move? We're not sure. Perhaps Apple wanted to give us an idea of its beastly capabilities before it rolls out to its laptops and computers. Based on the in-house performance figures we got for the M4 iPad Pro, the M4 Macs are likely going to blow us away.

We're also hearing that, according to Bloomberg, the new batch of M4 Macs will no longer start with just 8GB of RAM. Entry-level models are expected to start with 16GB of RAM.

That being said, let's take a look at all the leaks and rumors we've been hearing across all the Macs.

M4 MacBook Pro

Just like the M3 MacBooks that debuted during last October’s "Scary Fast" event, we’re anticipating the following M4 MacBook models this year:

• 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 (cheapest)

• 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro

• 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max

• 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro

• 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max (priciest)

Apple reports that the M4 processor is 50% faster than the M2 CPU and boasts a four-fold increase in rendering performance

M4 MacBook Pro release date

According to an April report from Gurman, the next MacBook Pro will launch sometime later this year. While he didn’t provide an exact date, it’s expected to arrive before the M4 MacBook Air, which is slated for a spring 2025 release.

This aligns with a rumor from Ross Young, another well-regarded analyst. Young shared on his subscriber-only feed on X (formerly Twitter) that Apple fans can expect an M4 MacBook Pro release ‘later this year.’

Historically, Apple has held Mac events in October or November, making it likely that the new M4 MacBook Pro will be unveiled during that timeframe. However, as BGR noted, October seems to be the most probable date.

According to Gurman, the entry-level M4 14-inch MacBook Pro will be released first, followed by the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring the more powerful M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, likely at the end of 2024 or early 2025.

M4 MacBook Pro design

There haven’t been any design rumors about the M4 MacBook Pro, but a major overhaul seems unlikely. According to MacRumors, Apple is planning a future MacBook launch with a new OLED display, though this isn’t expected until 2026.

M4 MacBook Air

The M4 MacBook Air are not expected to launch this year. They will reportedly come in the same 13.6-inch and 15-inch configurations.

According to Gurman, the new M4 MacBook Air models will launch sometime in 2025 (likely during spring).

M4 iMac

Unlike the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, rumors and leaks on the M4 iMac are scant.

Other than the date, we don't have any other additional details.

M4 Mac mini

We have several meaty details about the M4 Mac mini.

M4 Mac mini release date

The M4 Mac mini is expected to launch either at the end of 2024 or early 2025.

According to Gurman, it will be available in two configurations: M4 and M4 Pro.

M4 Mac mini design

While the Mac mini may not undergo a dramatic design change, it will be significantly smaller. The Mac mini hasn’t had a major design update since 2010. As 9to5Mac noted, it lost its DVD drive and changed I/O options, but has consistently been a 7.7-inch aluminum slab. The new model is anticipated to be the smallest desktop Apple has ever produced.

The chassis is reportedly about the size of an Apple TV. Although the M4 Mac mini will have a smaller overall footprint, it is expected to be slightly taller than the current generation.

M4 Mac Studio

According to Gurman, the M4 Mac Studio is also set for a refresh, but not until mid-2025.

M4 Mac Pro

The April Bloomberg report mentioned earlier states that the next Mac Pro, featuring an M4 Ultra chip, is expected to launch in the second half of 2025.
