Next generation M4 Mac devices should come around the end of the year, but not all of them.
Ever since Apple has adopted the use of its own silicon in its devices, its release cycle for new products has been more consistent versus the Intel x86 chip era. With the recent release of the M4 iPad Pro, it also brought its chips into the next generation that will be spread across its Mac lineup.
According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, there will be new M4 Macs coming towards the latter half of 2024. This will first include the MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Mini models. The Mac Pro, Mac Studio, and MacBook Air will be updated sometime in 2025.
This series of events makes sense for Apple, since the MacBook Pro line of Macs is its biggest seller. After a successful launch of the M2 Max MacBook Pros, Apple surprised consumers with a performant M3 Max update shortly after last year.
