The new M4 Macs are coming this month, or maybe they’re already here. Recently, Mark Gurman reported that Apple will announce New M4 Macs and iPad Mini 7 at the end of OctoberSome models are expected to ship before November 1. Apple is famous for secrecy, keeping all of its products behind the scenes until they are officially released. So, when someone claims and pretends to have got their hands on an Apple device that hasn’t even been officially launched, everyone will notice and be curious to know how this is possible. The same has happened with the yet-unannounced M4 MacBook Pro.
Videos of unannounced M4 MacBook Pros are surfacing on social media. Over the weekend, a Russian YouTuber Wylsacom uploaded a video The new base model of the genuine Apple M4 MacBook Pro, which Apple plans to unveil later this month, is claimed to have been found. The YouTuber unboxed the Mac and shared some initial thoughts. He also shared something M4 MacBook Pro Geekbench results in record-breaking performanceAlthough it’s hard to believe, some signs suggest that the M4 MacBook Pro shown may be legitimate. The YouTuber showed the back of the laptop’s box and revealed that it houses a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage.
After that another Russian YouTuber Romancev768 also posted a shorts video What appears to be an M4-powered MacBook Pro. The video shows a box for a 14-inch Space Black MacBook Pro in M4 configuration with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and three Thunderbolt 4 ports. Like the first video, the box in the second video also has last year’s wallpaper. However, the “About this Mac” screen shown in the video indicates that the MacBook Pro is an unreleased November MacBook Pro with the M4 chip.
M4 MacBook Pro information leaked
While the MacBook Pro models shown in both videos have the standard M4 chipset, not the higher-end M4 Pro or M4 Max, the leaked unit appears to be the next entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4. If this proves valid, Apple has doubled the RAM from 8GB to 16GB and also added a third Thunderbolt 4 port, which is a nice upgrade compared to the existing 14-inch MacBook Pro. Also, Space Black finish will be a new color option for the new M4 14-inch MacBook Pro. The current base model has only space gray and silver options.
In terms of design, the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro sees no changes. Also, all other specifications including the display size and resolution and port configuration (MagSafe 3, HDMI, and an SD card slot) remain the same.
Is Apple Facing Its Worst Warehouse Leak Ever?
At present, the source of these leaks is unclear. Mark Gurman says If the MacBook shown turns out to be legitimate, it would be an ‘unprecedented breach’ at Apple. Last week, a leaker called “ShrimpApplePro” claimed That one seller had at least 200 units of the unannounced 14-inch MacBook Pro, and they were apparently being sold in a private Facebook group. This led them to believe that the leak had come from a warehouse. There is no evidence to support this, but this whole situation seems suspicious.
Well, it’s incredibly rare to see a fully functional Apple product before an official announcement. That too, all this happened in Russia, where even officially announced Apple products are difficult to find. Therefore, we are suspicious of this leak, even though it seems quite reliable and authentic. Even if the leaked videos of the M4 MacBook Pro are fake, some of the specifications seem pretty accurate.
Mark Gurman revealed that we will see the new M4 Macs by the end of October. We’re likely to see a low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 and high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. Apple will also launch one All-new Mac mini in M4 and M4 Pro variantsAnd an upgraded iMac with M4 processor. Apart from Mac, an ipad mini 7 There is also speculation of an early November release. Apple has not yet announced an official release date.
Since Apple has a culture of secrecy, a leak of this magnitude is extremely rare and suspicious. This may be the most significant leak for Apple since the iPhone 4 prototype was leaked by a then-employee of the company who accidentally left it in a bar in California. Of course, there will be serious questions about how this all happened, and we’ll have to wait to see what Apple does in this case.
