Apple is gearing up to release updated versions of its MacBook Pro, iMac, and possibly Mac mini later this year, all powered by the new M4 chip, according to a recent report by 9To5Mac, citing Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
Upcoming M4-Powered Models
The new MacBook Pro and iMac models, which were last updated with the M3 series chips, are set to receive significant performance upgrades with the introduction of the M4 chips. The M4 series, which Apple first showcased with the new iPad Pro at the “Let Loose” event in May, promises enhanced performance and efficiency.
Additional Updates Expected
While the M4 updates for MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro are anticipated, these are expected to be rolled out in 2025. The focus for this year will be on the MacBook Pro and iMac, with the possibility of a refreshed Mac mini also in the pipeline.
USB-C Transition for iMac
In addition to the performance boost from the new M4 chips, Apple is likely to update the iMac’s accessory connectivity. The current iMac models still use accessories with Lightning connectors, but the new versions are expected to adopt USB-C, aligning with Apple’s broader shift towards this universal standard.
What to Expect
The update is anticipated to focus primarily on improving processing power and efficiency, leveraging the latest advancements in Apple Silicon. As always, Apple aims to enhance the user experience with faster speeds and better overall performance.
