Key Takeaways
- The M4 MacBook Pro will likely be revealed on Thursday.
- Expect a very minor hardware refresh.
- We’ll likely see the M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips.
Quickly following the reveal of the M4 iMac and shockingly cute M4 Mac mini, it looks like the M4 MacBook is just around the corner.
As first spotted by developer Charlie Joseph on X (via 9to5Mac), Apple’s website currently features an image of a still-unannounced M4 Max chip buried deep within its code (see it below, in a post on X from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman).
While this doesn’t confirm we’ll see new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips tomorrow, it strongly points in that direction. The image’s appearance and quick removal from Apple’s online store adds to the speculation, suggesting these refreshed models are likely on the way. Apple’s product announcements this week align with the timing, building anticipation for tomorrow’s reveal.
