Apple Likely to Launch M4 Macs in November

[MacRumors]

Apple will likely announce new Mac models with M4-series chips in November, confidential information obtained by MacRumors claims.

According to a reliable source familiar with the matter, Apple will release new Mac models in November 2024. While new Macs are usually released toward the end of the year, this is the first time a launch month has been singled out for the upcoming M4 Macs.

This does not discount the possibility of Apple holding an event in October to announce the new machines. Last year, Apple announced its "Scary Fast" event on Tuesday, October 23. It hosted the event on Monday, October 30, unveiling new MacBook Pro and iMac models with M3 chips. These new machines then launched on Tuesday, November 7, so we could see a similar series of events this year.

Rumors suggest that Apple has plans to launch four new Mac models with M4-series chips before the end of the year: an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip, new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, a new iMac with the M4 chip, and a completely redesigned Mac mini with the M4 and M4 Pro chips. With the exception of the new Mac mini, these devices are expected to be minor refreshes that focus on chip upgrades, but they could come with 16GB of memory as standard across the board for the first time. Some of these machines are now believed to be in mass production, which may line up with a November release date.

I’ll upgrade from my M1 Max when there’s a hardware redesign.

Just when my Macbook Air turns 4 years old...?

That 14" MBP will probably be very tempting.

 

[MakeAppleAwesomeAgain]

I'm seriously considering upgrading my M2 Mac Mini to the M4, as I mostly benefit from single-core performance. The Geekbench increase from 2700 to 3700 is not too shabby.

November Mac Event? Cool. The first Apple Silicon Macs were revealed in November too. It felt like not too long ago when M1 was revealed, time flies.

Anyways, looking forward to see what the M4 Pro/Max will offer.

What about the M4 MacBook air?
Have been waiting for a 16gb ram base version to upgrade my M1.

M3 Air just came out earlier at March of this year, so M4 Macbook Air most likely won't be out until Spring 2025.

They seem to be updating the chip on the Air at a later date.

Gurman? Sigh…. Although I hope it’s true.

 

[Abazigal]

Mmmmm….a 15” M4 MBA….🤗

 

[MichaelDroste]

NOOOOOOOOO Sold my tower!!! Computerless now… was hoping they would come sooner… very hard not to have a computer after 32 years on the Mac…

 

[Kottu]

A 14" MacBook AIR with MBP display is all I need.

 

[MichaelDroste]

Only an iPhone now… Mac Mini Pro for me… around $2000…

 

[MichaelDroste]

Not waiting for M5 lol 😂 2 months without a computer is too much… the M4 should Double the speed of my 2019 Mac Tower…

 

[Ctrlos]

Are they going to do that Apple thing where they put the performance gains in the old chassis to bleed some sales from those who need the extra 10% speed before trolling them next year with thinner designs?

Or might we see a 5mm iMac, that hockey puck Mac Mini (which suddenly becomes the Apple games console you always wanted?) and thinner laptops?

 

[sequential]

Only interested in M4 macs if they come with tb5

 

[MichaelDroste]

Mac mini Pro with 32 - 64gb ram and 1 or 2tb ssd - can’t wait for this machine…!!!

 

[MichaelDroste]

I seriously may have to get an M2 mini to ‘hold me over’ while waiting for the M4 - we’ll see - one time at four in the morning breakdown and get it for $499… seems like a waste… with the M4 SO Close… but then I could use the mini for other automated tasks at home also…

 

[iToph]

Just pulled the trigger on an m2 Mac Studio 76c gpu with 128gb ram. Refurbished. 5800€ instead of 6869€.

 

[MichaelDroste]

It’s a shame the high level Mac mini is the same price as the beginning Mac studio. But it doesn’t look like the Mac studio is coming until March? Or later…

 

[krell100]

One more thing... M4 Studio please Apple.

 

[klrobinson999]

Good grief, just release a 32" iMac Pro already

 

[Chazak]

I’ll upgrade from my M1 Max when there’s a hardware redesign.

You may be waiting until your grandchildren are born. You may see some tweaks, but that is it. Apple designs evolve. To say redesigns are very rare is an understatement.

 

[chars1ub0w]

November seems a bit late unless it's immediate availability. Interested to see what's max RAM on a M4 Max MacBook Pro. Hoping for 128GB. A stretch would be 192GB?

 

[Sippincider]

Good grief, just release a 32" iMac Pro already

... to pindrop silence with its $7000+ base price.

Apple does need a prosumer machine bigger than the current 24" iMac, and I'd be jumping in line to get one. But at 32" the pricing gets into real pro users who'll bring their own monitor instead.

We shall see what Marky boy (Gurman) has to say about this, in a few minutes.
