Set to Launch in the Last Week of October 2024!
MacBook Pro Launch Date: Expected in the last week of October, potentially on Halloween, with retail availability starting November 1st, 2024.
New MacBook Pro Models: New MacBook Pros: A 14-inch with M4 chip, and 14-inch/16-inch variants with more powerful M4 Pro and M4 Max chips.
No MacBook Air in 2024: The MacBook Air is missing from this release cycle, with a launch which is expected in Q1 2025.
M4 Chip Introduction: The M4 chip was first launched in May 2024 with the iPad Pro (7th gen), and the new MacBook Pro models will feature it after a six-month gap.
AI Focus: Apple will likely emphasize Apple Intelligence, its generative AI software, though it has not been fully released yet. This is in response to competition from Microsoft's AI in Windows 11.
Mac Mini and iPad Mini Updates: New versions of the Mac Mini and iPad Mini are also expected to be announced alongside the MacBook Pro models.
Retail Focus: November 1st marks the start of retail availability for these new MacBook models, which will possibly create a significant buzz heading into the holiday shopping season.
iPad Mini and Mac Mini Updates: In addition to the MacBook Pro, new iterations of the iPad Mini and Mac Mini are expected during this event, giving more diverse hardware updates for Apple users.
