In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman told That Apple is planning to introduce the first M4 Macs and new lower-end iPads at its next event in the coming weeks. The MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini are expected to be updated with the M4 series of chips this year, followed by the MacBook Air, Mac Studio and Mac Pro by 2025. He said some of the early Macs with the M4 chip are already shipping.
These products will be updated in Apple’s next event:
MacBook Pro
Gurman’s AccordingApple is planning to introduce updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips at its next event. There are likely to be no changes in laptop design this year, with changes like OLED displays and slim designs not expected to arrive before 2026. Apple last redesigned the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro in 2021. New models with M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips were introduced last October.
iMac and Mac mini
According to Gurman, there are also plans to update the iMac with the M4 chip at the Apple event. The iMac is likely to get a USB-C switch instead of Lightning this year. The Mac mini will be updated with M4 and M4 Pro chips at the event. He had previously said that desktop computers would be redesigned to be almost as small as the Apple TV. The new Mac mini will lack a USB-A port.
iPad mini and iPad entry level models
iPad mini 7th generation is expected to arrive in this event. The upcoming iPad mini includes a faster chip, upgraded front and rear cameras, jelly scrolling screen tier solution in portrait orientation, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support, and new color options. Gurman said that new lower-end iPads will be introduced at the event, so there could also be an iPad 11.
