New MacsKcoming sooner than you think. In fact, they might already be here — they just aren't very evenly distributed yet.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing to announce new Macs and an iPad in late October, followed by a launch on Nov. 1.
More precisely, the company will reportedly launch several variants of the 14-inch MacBook Pro, as well as a new version of 16-inch MacBook Pro, with its new M4 chips that made their debut on the iPad Pro this spring. Apple is also launching a redesigned Mac mini (we've written about it) with an M4 and M4 Pro chip, and a refreshed iMac with an M4 chip. Finally, Gurman writes that Apple is looking to launch a new version of the iPad mini.
There's nothing really unexpected here, though it is a pretty long and interesting lineup of new devices. But something very unexpected did happen this time around: a Russian YouTuber may have gotten hold of the upcoming M4 MacBook Pro.
It's not just your typical leak, in which you get a blurry photo from a factory line somewhere. No, this guy has an entire unboxing video, in which he shows, in detail, the 14-inch version of the MacBook Pro. The device is in Space Black (previously reserved for the 16-inch MacBook Pro), has three Thunderbolt 4 ports (instead of two), and starts with 16GB of RAM. And, of course, it sports a 10-core variant of the new M4 chip. The laptop shown in the video also has 512GB of storage, though that's not particularly unusual.
Looks pretty real, but there are some suspicious details.

You can check out the whole video, partially in Russian, on YouTube.
It's not very often that we get to see an unreleased Apple product several weeks ahead of its (rumored) release date, so we'll take all of this with a grain of salt. In any case, we'll be eagerly awaiting an official announcement from Apple come late October.
Back to Gurman's predictions, which also mentions several new Apple devices coming in the first half of 2025. Namely, Gurman expects Apple to launch new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air, a revamped iPhone SE, a new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air model (together with a new Magic Keyboard), and an upgraded AirTag.
Finally, later in the year, Apple is likely to launch new versions of Mac Studio and Mac Pro with more powerful M4 chips.
