New Macs are coming prior to you assume. In truth, they could already be right here — they only aren’t very evenly distributed but.
In line with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is getting ready to announce new Macs and an iPad in late October, adopted by a launch on Nov. 1.
Extra exactly, the corporate will reportedly launch a number of variants of the 14-inch MacBook Professional, in addition to a brand new model of 16-inch MacBook Professional, with its new M4 chips that made their debut on the iPad Professional this spring. Apple can also be launching a redesigned Mac mini (we have written about it) with an M4 and M4 Professional chip, and a refreshed iMac with an M4 chip. Lastly, Gurman writes that Apple is trying to launch a brand new model of the iPad mini.
There’s nothing actually sudden right here, although it’s a fairly lengthy and attention-grabbing lineup of latest units. However one thing very sudden did occur this time round: a Russian YouTuber could have gotten maintain of the upcoming M4 MacBook Professional.
Mashable Mild Pace
It isn’t simply your typical leak, during which you get a blurry picture from a manufacturing unit line someplace. No, this man has a complete unboxing video, during which he exhibits, intimately, the 14-inch model of the MacBook Professional. The machine is in Area Black (beforehand reserved for the 16-inch MacBook Professional), has three Thunderbolt 4 ports (as an alternative of two), and begins with 16GB of RAM. And, in fact, it sports activities a 10-core variant of the brand new M4 chip. The laptop computer proven within the video additionally has 512GB of storage, although that is not significantly uncommon.
Appears fairly actual, however there are some suspicious particulars.

The unboxing video seems to be genuine sufficient, although it’s odd that the MacBook proven on the field has the very same wallpaper as final yr’s M3 MacBook Professional. You possibly can try the entire video, partially in Russian, on YouTube.
It isn’t fairly often that we get to see an unreleased Apple product a number of weeks forward of its (rumored) launch date, so we’ll take all of this with a grain of salt. In any case, we’ll be eagerly awaiting an official announcement from Apple come late October.
Again to Gurman’s predictions, which additionally mentions a number of new Apple units coming within the first half of 2025. Particularly, Gurman expects Apple to launch new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air, a revamped iPhone SE, a brand new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air mannequin (along with a brand new Magic Keyboard), and an upgraded AirTag.
Lastly, later within the yr, Apple is more likely to launch new variations of Mac Studio and Mac Professional with extra highly effective M4 chips.
