Last week, Apple dropped a seriously heavy hint that new Macs are indeed about to arrive – multiple Mac-related revelations are expected over the course of this week, likely consecutive launches over the next few days, starting today – and we’ve heard more about the spec of the purported M4-toting machines that are inbound.
Mark Gurman brings fresh rumors about the M4 Macs in the leaker’s latest newsletter for Bloomberg, and there’s exciting news about the entry-level MacBook Pro.
Firstly, we’re told that of the two M4 chips currently powering the iPad Pro (launched earlier this year), only the 10-core CPU (with 10-core GPU) will be in the base-level MacBook Pro models. So, the other CPU (a slightly weaker spin with a 9-core CPU, plus 10-core GPU) may be in the (also rumored) Mac mini or iMac, but not Apple’s new laptops (take all of this with seasoning, but Gurman seems fairly confident in his assertions at this point).
The even better news the leaker imparts is that “at least some low-end Macs” will likely come with 16GB of Unified Memory as minimum, and our guess – as previous churning from the rumor mill indicates – is that this means the MacBook Pro 14-inch will have 16GB with the entry-level model. We can expect low and high-end MacBook Pro 14-inch models, and a new MacBook Pro 16-inch, Gurman notes (as the leaker has previously said), including ‘higher-end’ M4 flavors (M4 Pro and presumably M4 Max).
Gurman also tells us that we’re getting an iMac 24-inch with vanilla M4, and two spins on a redesigned Mac mini (featuring a choice of the vanilla M4 and M4 Pro chips). As already rumored, it’s going to be an even more compact Mac mini,…
