Gurman: New MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Mini Models With M4 Chips Launching 'Very Soon'

Apple is planning to launch its first Macs with the M4 series of chips "very soon," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

In a social media post today, Gurman said these Macs will include new MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini models specifically. He continues to expect the next Mac mini to feature a "revamped" design, in line with his previous reporting that said the new model will be nearly as small as an Apple TV and gain two front-facing USB-C ports.

No major design changes are rumored for the next MacBook Pro and iMac models, but the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro is expected to gain an additional Thunderbolt port compared to the current model, based on alleged leaks earlier this month.

It's not entirely clear if Apple plans to hold an online event this month, like its "Scary Fast" event on October 30 last year, or if the new Macs will be announced with Apple Newsroom press releases only like the iPad mini 7. If there is an event this month, Apple would likely invite the media to watch it online very soon. Apple sent out invites for the October 30 event last year on October 24, six days in advance.

Gurman said the new Macs will be accompanied by unspecified "USB-C accessories." MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris recently discovered code references to new versions of the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard, and these accessories will likely switch from Lightning to USB-C for charging alongside the new iMac. In the EU, a regulation requiring USB-C as a common charging port goes into effect later this year.

Here is everything that Apple is likely to announce:

  • 14-inch MacBook Pro with the standard M4 chip
  • 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro and M4 Max chip options
  • iMac with the standard M4 chip
  • A redesigned, smaller Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro chip options
  • Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard accessories with USB-C ports

Update: In a follow-up post, Gurman said that Apple is inviting the media and content creators to a hands-on experience in Los Angeles next Wednesday, and he believes this means the new Macs would need to be announced before then.

I'm ready
...to probably be underwhelmed


Basically everything they do now seems to be some level of disappointing
As news it may be underwhelming, but for those of us who are ready to upgrade and buy, this is delightful. Even if "underwhelming" you can start at the top of release cycle and get maximum value over the life of the product.

This is basically what Apple counts on now

People barely even evaluate if the offering is good/great or a sensible value

They just "buy it" (whatever Apple "it" happens to be)

The customer base appears fully captured and Tim has really leaned in to "extracting value" at this point.
If you want to run macOS, your choices are limited to what Apple releases, so other than evaluating what Apple offers, I’m not sure what you expect from users. Your comments seem to imply that we’re simply weak sheep who will buy whatever Apple burps out the door.

We’ll, at this point the answer is yes, but not because I’m a weak sheep, but because I’m at the point in my life where desktop Linux is simply not an option anymore (I don’t want the hassle) and Windows is an operating system I prefer to run on a VM and not as my daily driver. I use it at work in a corporate environment where it is tightly controlled and managed, but we still have the usual array of stupid things happening. By the time the day is done, I’ve generally had my fill of Windows.

Apple has some great products, they have some mid products and they have some crappy products, just like every other company out there. I don’t hang on specs all day long, I buy because Apple has a product that fills a need, usually good to very good, sometimes without checking off the spec chasers imaginary spreadsheets.

It's very strange that they offer Mac Minis with Pro chips, but not iMacs. The only 2 reasons I can think of are that they are planning an iMac Pro or they made the iMac so thin, the Pro chip would run too hot.
