In just a few weeks , Apple will bring out the iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series X , maybe new AirPods and an iPad or two . But a new report claims that wo n’t be all — a unexampled lineup of Macs might be on the room as well .
In his latestPower On newssheet , Mark Gurman reports that Apple is planning a bevy of update this year to usher in the M4 buffalo chip , including theMac mini , iMac , andMacBook Pro . He take note that theMac Studio , Mac Pro , andMacBook Airwill also get M4 chips , but not until 2025 .
Last year , Apple sustain itsScary Fast eventin late October to usher in the M3 , M3 Pro , and M3 Max chips , which were featured in update to the MacBook Pro . It also update the iMac at the same outcome , though none of the fresh machines get much in the way of upgrades beyond the potato chip . to boot , the MacBook Air ’s M3 raise earlier this year was little more than a specification prominence .
The Mac mini , Mac Studio , and Mac Pro all still run M2 chips , so this could be the first time all of Apple ’s Macs are running the same generation of central processing unit .
While the upgrade will in all probability focus on the new capabilities of the M4 chip and its outcome on Apple Intelligence in macOS 15 , “ at least one Mac role model will get more dramatic alteration , ” Gurman reports . He does n’t say which model it is or what the changes will be , but only a couple of Apple ’s current Macs make gumption .
The MacBook Air just got a major raw expression last class with a new 15 - inch model , so it ’s highly unlikely another redesign is on the way , and the same goes for the Mac Studio , which has only been on shelf for about two year .
The iMac is also unlikely to see a dramatic redesign since it only just got an overhaul in 2021 , but Apple could switch up the colors and total a Pro manakin . And the Mac Pro has had the same design since 2019 despite switching to Apple silicon .
But the most likely campaigner for a “ dramatic change ” is the Mac miniskirt . Apple has n’t changed the design of the Mac miniskirt since 2018 , and there have been rumors for twelvemonth that it has been working on anoverhaul of the tiny desktop . And since all the Mac accessories still have Lightning ports , Apple could take the opportunity to launch a new Magic Mouse , Keyboard , and Trackpad as well .
