Apple is rolling out the launch of new Macs through the “week of announcements” from Monday, October 28.
However, rumors circulated that Apple is planning to introduce the updated Macs equipped with M4 chipsets and refreshed iPad mini. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is not opting for its traditional October annual product launch strategy.
On the other hand, The company’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Greg Joswiak posted on X, “Mac (😉) your calendars! We have an exciting week of announcements ahead, starting on Monday morning. Stay tuned…”
The above-mentioned post appropriately makes sense that Apple would reveal the suite of Macs powered by M4 chips. It is been a year since the company introduced M3 chips at a Halloween event. Therefore, the debut of M4 chips is marked in iPad Pro earlier this year. But the Macbooks are still waiting for updates.
Furthermore, it has been rumored that Apple is designing M4-powered iMacs and low-end 14-inch and high-end 14-inch Macbook Pros, along with a new Mac Mini by early 2025. The rumored Mac Mini also gets a new design that would be similar in size to the Apple TV.
In addition to the revealed information, all entry-level models or devices have RAM of 16GB instead of 8GB. Apple aims to provide better performance for Apple Intelligence functions.
Interestingly, Apple not only announced new hardware updates. On Monday morning, Apple also released the software update iOS 18 for iPhones, iPads, and Macs that support Apple Intelligence features. It is the first software update with Apple Intelligence.
