Alleged M4 MacBook Pro Unboxing Video Reveals These Four Upgrades

An alleged unboxing video for an unannounced 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip was uploaded to YouTube today by Russian channel Wylsacom. The video was later linked to on social media platform X by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Alleged M4 MacBook Pro Leak Video
It is possible that this is the same MacBook Pro box shown in photos that were shared by leaker ShrimpApplePro in late September, as he claimed that this MacBook Pro unit was apparently being sold in a private Facebook group at the time.

While we cannot confirm the authenticity of this leak, the box reveals four potential upgrades for what seems to be the base model 14-inch MacBook Pro:

  • 25% faster M4 chip: The box lists this 14-inch MacBook Pro as having an M4 chip with a 10-core CPU, whereas the current model has the M3 chip with an 8-core CPU. An alleged Geekbench 6 benchmark result shared by the YouTube channel behind this leak suggests that the M4 chip will be up to 25% faster than the M3 chip. Apple already introduced the M4 chip in the iPad Pro in May, and it indeed has up to a 10-core CPU and up to 25% faster performance compared to the M3 chip.

  • 16GB of RAM: It was previously rumored that 16GB of RAM could become the minimum for all future Macs, and the alleged packaging indeed suggests that the next 14-inch MacBook Pro would start with 16GB of RAM, unless it is somehow a built-to-order configuration that will be offered on Apple's online store.
  • Three Thunderbolt 4 ports: The box suggests the base 14-inch MacBook Pro will have three Thunderbolt 4 ports, up from two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the current model.
  • Space Black: The box suggests that Space Black would become a color option for the base 14-inch MacBook Pro, whereas it is currently exclusive to models configured with the M3 Pro or M3 Max chip.

Here is a screenshot of the box from the video:

Gurman today said he expects Apple to announce the first Macs with M4 chips in late October, and release at least some of them on Friday, November 1.

Here is the video, which could be removed from YouTube at any point:

An extra Thunderbolt 4 port: The box suggests the base 14-inch MacBook Pro will have three Thunderbolt 4 ports, up from two on the current model.
It's an extra 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports, because the M3 MacBook Pro has exactly zero Thunderbolt 4 ports. ;) They are TB3.

Why is this important? Because Thunderbolt 4 means that it would support two external monitors instead of just one.

Absolutely don't believe this is the box. Really, they're going to keep the same wallpaper on the front with the '3' embedded? Screams fake to me.

Not good enough. Lunar Lake is only $60 to upgrade from 16GB to 32GB RAM and includes 1TB SSD. Intel is going to eat Apple's lunch.
