So, according to Gurman, the new Macs are expected to be released in the following order: The budget 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 will arrive sometime in late 2024. A 24-inch iMac with M4 is also expected around the end of the year. New high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro/Max chips should be out between late 2024 and early 2025. Mac mini configurations with M4 and M4 Pro chips will be available from late 2024 through early 2025. New 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Airs are scheduled for spring 2025. Mac Studio with a high-end M4 chip will be released around mid-2025. The Mac Pro with the M4 Ultra chip should hit the market in the second half of 2025. Gurman added that Apple has conducted internal tests of the M3 Ultra chip, which will be suitable for the Mac Studio and Mac Pro. At the same time, he is "almost certain that at least some high-end Apple computers" will miss the M3 series chip. Additionally, it is reported that Apple will emphasize the artificial intelligence capabilities of the M4 series of chips. |
