[Gearbest Technology News]Apple has launched the first batch of Mac computer series equipped with M4 chips, covering MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini. Next, the rest of the Mac product line will also receive upgrades to the M4 chip. From MacBook Air to Mac Pro and Mac Studio, here’s the expected release timeline for the M4 series of Mac computers, showcasing the impressive performance of the Apple M4 chip Mac lineup.
Spring 2025: M4 MacBook Air
The popular MacBook Air is about to receive a new version. It is expected that in the spring of 2025, the M4 MacBook Air will be officially launched. Based on the performance of Apple’s other M4 series products, we can expect the M4 MacBook Air to feature a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, 16GB memory, and an upgraded neural engine that performs 38 trillion operations per second. The MacBook Air will also offer longer battery life and possibly a nano-texture display option.
This upgrade will include both 13-inch and 15-inch models. Since Apple redesigned the MacBook Air with the M2 model, major changes to the hardware design are unlikely.
Summer 2025: M4 Mac Studio and Mac Pro
Apple plans to release M4 version updates for its desktop performance kings, the Mac Studio and Mac Pro, in mid-2025, possibly during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Both machines will feature the M4 Ultra chip for the first time. Additionally, the Mac Studio may offer a more affordable M4 Max option.
More details about Mac Studio and Mac Pro have not yet been announced. However, whether these two products have the opportunity to update the hardware design has attracted much attention. The Mac Studio will likely shrink, following the trend of the Mac mini, while Apple plans to update the Mac Pro’s design due to its outdated look.
If Apple successfully releases products according to this schedule, it will update all Mac computers with the M4 chip within a year. This demonstrates the advantages of Apple’s self-developed chips, enabling faster updates—whether they involve major design changes or simple performance improvements. The Apple M4 chip Mac product line will bring these updates across all models.
