Apple is all set to kick off next week with major announcements around new product launches. The tech giant has officially teased that something big is coming starting Monday, October 28, most probably the highly anticipated M4-powered MacBook Pro and the iMac. The speculation on the devices has been in circulation for some time; the M4 chip made its debut earlier this year with the iPad Pro. Apple fans can now expect to see the chip on new Mac models. There may also be a new Mac mini and accessories, with speculation hinting that a new MacBook Air could be unveiled.
Greg Joswiak, Apple's Senior Vice President, has said that a “hands-on experience” will take place on October 30 in Los Angeles. Tech insider Mark Gurman had initially hinted that the new Macs would debut next week, and Apple has since confirmed an entire week of announcements, further fuelling the excitement.
Having already made its first public appearance in this year's iPad Pro, the M4 chip is sure to take its place in the spotlight of these upcoming products. With speed increments and enhanced efficiency, this could prove to be the most substantial upgrade when it comes to Apple laptop and desktop lines. It's also been reported that the stocks for the predecessors are low, a good indicator that the release of newer versions could not be far away.
Apple is not preparing for its ordinary keynote event. The announcement is anticipated to be in line with the recent trend of online reveals – probably through a press release and video. This was the same process by which the iPad Mini 7 was rolled out last week. The potential launches could include an M4-powered iMac, MacBook Pro, and perhaps a revamped Mac Mini with USB-C accessories.
The focus will now be on the company next week to see the true power of the second iteration of the M4 chip for the upcoming Macs. Stay tuned to Times Now Tech for updates once the official announcement of new devices is made.
