According to Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to delivers variants of its M4 Silicon chipset family to every single Mac, including the Mac Pro.
Consumers looking to buy a new MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac will be the first to score a new M4 Mac. According to Gurman, Apple is planning on releasing the M4 models for each of those Mac lines later this year.
Last year, Apple held a rare October event just before Halloween to launch the M3 MacBook Pros and iMacs. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Apple run a similar event this year to launch the first M4 Macs just before the 2024 holiday season.
MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro users will have to wait a little bit longer for the M4 chip. Those models will be upgraded to M4 in 2025.

MacDailyNews Take: Expect the Mac Pro to offer an M4 Ultra, codenamed “Hidra,” which is a unique design rumored to offer higher performance than in previous Ultra chips which are basically two conjoined Max chips.

” It wouldn’t be surprising to see Apple run a similar event this year to launch the first M4 Macs just before the 2024 holiday season.”
Are you kidding me? In the past I’ve waited for multiple YEARS for a processor bump and you’re saying Apple is going to do that in ONE year? What the hell is going on? I will take it! I do plan to FINALLY replace my 16″ MacBook Pro 2019 Intel but – Yes I DO think it’s “surprising” to be getting new goodies so soon.
The move from an intel MacBook Pro to an M1 was spectacular. Jumping straight to an M4 would be life changing.
They have to bump all variants to m4 as fast as possible due to the Ai processing required going forward that’s why they are leaping M3 so quickly
Probably not “every” since iMac just recently got M3, and it never had M2. So next iMac will likely be M5, skipping M4. I’m still 100% happy with my M1-nothing 13-inch MacBook Pro, might be compelled to upgrade when Apple Intelligence matures into something useful.
I want a quad m4 in a pro Mac desktop. Give me power !!! And a fancy HDR display
27″ screens?
