Apple’s Next Event: M4 Macs and New iPads on the Horizon!

Apple’s Next Event: M4 Macs and New iPads on the Horizon!

Fresh off the heels of the iPhone 16 launch, Apple is gearing up for another exciting special event in the coming weeks! According to reports from Mark Gurman, this time Apple will be focusing on new M4-powered Macs and possibly unveiling some lower-end iPads, like the iPad 11 and iPad mini.

What’s Coming with the M4 Macs?

Apple is expected to debut its first AI-focused M4 chips at this event, continuing its push into the realm of artificial intelligence with the new Apple Intelligence system. These new M4 Macs are likely to be the stars of the show, offering powerful performance boosts and exciting new features.

Here’s what we might see:

  • Low-end 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro (J604)
  • High-end 14-inch and 16-inch M4 MacBook Pros (J614 & J616) – with options for M4 Pro and M4 Max chips
  • M4 iMac (J623)
  • Smaller Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro chip options (J773)

Some of these models have reportedly already begun shipping, but Apple is likely holding back to launch everything together—so expect to see the high-end MacBook Pros and the new Mac mini released simultaneously!

New Lower-End iPads on the Way?

Along with the exciting new Macs, we could also see new iPads debut at the event, with a focus on lower-end models like the iPad 11 and iPad mini. While the focus is definitely on the M4 Macs, these new iPads could be a great option for those who want a more budget-friendly device.

What’s Next for Apple’s M4 Lineup?

While this event will be the first round of M4 Macs, Apple isn’t stopping there. The entire Mac lineup is expected to be upgraded to M4 by 2025. Here’s a look at what’s coming down the road:

  • New MacBook Airs (J713 & J715) in the first quarter of 2025
  • M4 Mac Studio (J575) in mid-2025
  • M4 Mac Pro (J704) by the end of 2025

Apple continues to innovate and expand its lineup, so this event should be packed with exciting announcements. Whether you’re in the market for a new Mac or just curious about what’s next, keep an eye out for the official event date and get ready for some cutting-edge tech!
