[ 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.
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 be equipped with the following features: 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, standard 16GB memory, upgraded neural engine (can perform 38 trillion operations per second), Longer battery life and possibly a nano-texture display option.
This upgrade will cover both 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air. It’s worth noting that since the MacBook Air was already redesigned when the M2 model was released, this upgrade is not expected to bring major changes to the hardware design.
Summer 2025: M4 Mac Studio and Mac Pro
Apple’s desktop-level performance kings, Mac Studio and Mac Pro, are expected to release M4 version updates in mid-2025, possibly during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Both machines will be equipped with the M4 Ultra chip for the first time, and the Mac Studio may also 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 follow the Mac mini’s shrinking trend, while the Mac Pro is more likely to get a new look, as its design has been out of date for years.
If Apple can successfully release products according to this schedule, it will complete the chip update of all Mac computers within a year. This fully demonstrates the advantages of Apple’s self-developed chips, allowing Apple to launch updates more quickly, whether it is major design updates or simple performance improvements.
