Bloomberg's Mark Gurman revealed a roadmap for the launch of Macs with M4 series chips, starting with a low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro and a 24-inch iMac expected by the end of 2024, followed by high-end MacBook Pros, Mac mini, MacBook Airs, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro with M4 chips in 2025. Gurman emphasized that Apple will focus on the artificial intelligence capabilities of the M4 chip series and suggested that high-end desktops may skip the M3 chip series.
Apple's hardware roadmap includes updated iPad Pro and iPad Air models expected to launch in the second week of May, with new iPad mini and entry-level iPad models anticipated later this year. The M4 series of chips is set to debut in late 2024, starting with MacBook Pro and iMac lines, and iOS 18 may introduce a new Safari browsing assistant. Additionally, a review of the iPhone 15 Pro after six months and rumored color options for the iPhone 16 models have been making headlines.
Apple is set to update its Mac lineup with M4 chips starting in late 2024, focusing on enhancing artificial intelligence capabilities. The M4 chips will be used across various Mac models, with different variations for different tiers, and are expected to support up to 512GB Unified Memory. Built on a 3-nanometer process, the M4 chips will feature an improved Neural Engine with increased cores for AI tasks, and will likely be produced by TSMC.
Apple is set to release its first M4-powered Macs later this year, with a focus on artificial intelligence. The M4 family of chips will include an entry-level variant and at least two higher-performance versions, with plans to update every Mac model. The transition to M4 will start with a new iMac, a lower-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, and a refreshed Mac mini. Apple also plans to follow up with more M4 Macs throughout 2025, including updates to the MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. The M4 chips are designed to highlight AI processing capabilities and their integration with the next version of macOS.
