Apple will upgrade every Mac model to M4

Waiting to see if your favorite Mac model will get the latest M4 chip upgrade before buying a new computer?

Good news: Whether you're a MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, or even a Mac Pro user, the M4 will soon be coming to your favorite Mac.

According to a new report from Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to roll its M4 Silicon chipset out to every single Mac computer model.

Ever since Apple released its first M4 product earlier this year with the iPad Pro, Mac users have been speculating not only when Apple's new most powerful chipset would come to their Mac desktop or laptop of choice – but also if the M4 was coming to their favorite Mac model.

Apple seemingly skipped out on upgrading some of its Mac models, such as the Mac Mini and Mac Studio, with the M3 chip. The most recent models currently available in those Mac lines are powered by the M2 chip.

When will the new M4 Macs come out?

Consumers looking to buy a new MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac will be the first to score a new M4 Mac. According to Gurman, Apple is planning on releasing the M4 models for each of those Mac lines later this year.

Current MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac users looking to upgrade should likely wait before doing so if they're looking to get their hands on the latest model. Last year, Apple held a rare October event just before Halloween to launch the M3 MacBook Pros and iMacs. It wouldn't be surprising to see Apple run a similar event this year to launch the first M4 Macs just before the 2024 holiday season.
