Apple's new M4 Macs are probably coming in November
Apple's got a busy couple of months ahead.
The company is launching new iPhones, along with some other gadgets, on September 9. But a new report from MacRumors claims Apple will follow that up with another event in November, which will focus on the Mac.
We've already heard that Apple is planning to upgrade all of its Mac models to M4, with some of them coming later this year. Now we have a slightly more precise timeline, although MacRumors, which cites a reliable source familiar with the matter, says it's still possible for Apple to actually host the event in October, with Macs becoming available in November. That's what happened last year, with new Macs being announced on October 30, and becoming available on November 7.

At this year's event, we'll probably see a new, entry-level, 14-inch MacBook Pro sporting an M4 chip, as well as 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4 Pro and M4 Mac chips. Apple is also reportedly planning to launch an iMac with the M4 chip, as well as a smaller, redesigned Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro chips. All of the devices should now come with 16GB of RAM as standard.
Most of these devices will be similar to previous models in other aspects, but Mac mini will reportedly be far smaller, and possibly more cube-like in appearance, than the current iteration.
The M4 chip made its debut on the iPad Pro, which launched in May. It's a decent though not a massive upgrade compared to the M3 chip, but we've yet to see what the more advanced M4 Pro and M4 Max chips can do.
