Apple will launch new M4 chip-powered MacBooks and iPads later this month. This has been confirmed by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. He also predicted that the sales of the new MacBook will start from November 1 and the launch is expected to happen in the last week of October. Apple has not yet announced the official date of the event. Earlier, a Russian YouTuber claimed to have found an unreleased M4 MacBook Pro and revealed benchmark scores and other details about the new Apple laptop.

Obviously there is a lot of doubt as to whether this is a real video, as it is very rare for unreleased Apple products to be leaked or given to a particular reviewer in advance. However, Gurman has also shared a YouTube video and believes it could be real. There is another user on X who shared some more images of the M4 MacBook Pro, claiming that it is on sale on a private Facebook group.

The leak shows the MacBook Pro with an M4-chip, a 14-inch display, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. The photos and video show a retail box of the MacBook, which shows a sealed box. All of these details are also on the retail box, further suggesting that this could possibly be genuine. The only thing the Internet is skeptical about is whether the MacBook’s wallpaper on the retail box is the same as last year. While Gurman says that might not mean much, another leakster suggests that it could possibly be the base variant of the current MacBook Pro getting a specs overhaul. This means that when Apple launches new MacBooks this month, it’s likely that the existing MacBook Pro series will get an upgrade with the new M4-chip variant.

The M4 chip was first introduced in the iPad Pro in May, showcasing its blazing fast speeds, and the new MacBook Pro is expected to benefit from similar enhancements in both speed and efficiency.

Additionally, it is expected that the base model of the 14-inch MacBook Pro will come with 16GB of RAM, which is in line with earlier speculation that Apple will make this the minimum RAM capacity for future Mac devices. On the connectivity front, the MacBook Pro may also see an upgrade from two Thunderbolt 3 ports to three Thunderbolt 4 ports, which should further improve performance and data transfer speeds.

Aesthetic changes are also on the horizon, as the Space Black color, previously exclusive to high-end configurations with M3 Pro or M3 Max chips, is expected to be available for the base model of the 14-inch MacBook Pro, bringing more More diversity will be added. In design options for users. These upgrades show that Apple is ready to deliver a faster, more powerful, and more visually versatile MacBook Pro in its next release.
