BTN News: Apple Is Shaping The Future of Computing As the M3 series chipsets used in the latest MacBook Pro laptops have performed well, Apple is poised to release a new MacBook Pro lineup equipped with the state-of-the-art M4 chipset. Announced in May, the M4 chipset showed huge leaps in terms of performance and efficiency based on the latest iPad Professional last month. This news essentially underlines Apple’s tireless work in always staying a step ahead in the tech world.
Upcoming MacBook Pro Models and Release Timeline
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Apple plans to release new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4 SoC – Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) November 2, 2021 Certain expectations and consumer interest have been derived from panel orders which will be shipped in September and therefore available to OEMs for a product launch.

Lastest This new leak lines up with previous predictions by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who suggested that the M4 MacBook Pro line will launch “at some point in 2024 or early 2025.” The next lineup is expected to feature a low-cost 14-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip. The high-end model in the lineup – a 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro – should feature the improved M4 Pro or M4 Max chipsets, which are expected to have an even better chance of handling application loads for higher-usage users.
Meet macOS Sequoia: New Mac Mini
The long-rumored third-generation Apple silicon may be headed for the next MacBook Pro laptops, which are expected to run macOS Sequoia, recently revealed at a virtual WWDC 2024. This new OS is going to add several latest features and improvements that will expand the usability of the device as well. In addition, there’s a new Mac mini also around the corner which could be powered by either a M4 or M4 Pro chip so that users can find its smaller form factor paired with more powerful computing resources.
Future Display Innovations
While Apple is expected to transition its MacBook line to OLED display panels like the second-gen iPad Pro lineup planned for 2024, this change is not expected for M4 MacBooks. Alternatively, Apple could move to OLED displays before 2026, continuing to transform its hardware design.
Conclusion
These M4 chipsets in Apple’s next generation MacBook Pro models are just the latest innovation in a grand plan to offer ever greater performance and experience. This makes Apple’s upcoming machines with new variable refresh rate LCDs, presumably powered by new processors and an upcoming wristOS 8, the ones to beat in the industry.
