Apple is preparing for a crucial second half of 2024, with significant focus on the expected iPhone 16. Various leaks and reports have shed light on the anticipated launch date and potential features of the upcoming device. However, Apple has not neglected its Mac lineup. Recent rumors indicate that several Mac models are slated to receive the new M4 chip.
Tom's Guide has spotlighted Mark Gurman's recent PowerOn newsletter, where he indicates that Apple intends to upgrade all its Macs to the latest M4 processor. This implies that the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, Mac Studio, and Mac mini might all incorporate the new M-series chip. A notable aspect from the report is that at least one Mac model will undergo more substantial changes, although the specific model is not disclosed.
Gurman had earlier suggested that Apple could be developing a thinner and lighter MacBook Pro, aligning with its new design philosophy. This could be the model undergoing significant alterations. Another candidate could be the Mac Pro, which has not undergone major design updates since 2019. Furthermore, the Mac mini, which has maintained a similar appearance since 2010, could also benefit from a significant redesign alongside the performance enhancement from the M4 chip.
Currently, the details are still vague, and we will need to await Apple's next event to discover which Macs will feature the M4 chip and which will undergo major redesigns.
