Apple is planning a “week of announcements” starting next Monday, October 28, during which the unveiling of new Macs is almost guaranteed. The company's senior vice president of global marketing, Greg Joswiak, told “Mac (😉) your calendars!” in a post on X, letting the cat out of the bag.
“We have an exciting week of announcements ahead, starting Monday morning,” Josiwak wrote. “Stay informed…”
Apple was widely expected to unveil desktop Macs and MacBooks running on M4 chipsets next week, a year after the company unveiled its first M3-powered laptops. The M4 debuted in an iPad Pro earlier this year, but Apple has yet to update its Macs with the chipset. It's long been rumored that Apple would release M4-powered iMacs, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, and a redesigned Mac mini in early 2025, and now it looks like that's happening before the holidays.
New hardware isn't the only thing Apple has planned for next week. On Monday, the company will release firmware updates for iPhone, iPad and Mac that will give the masses their first taste of Apple Intelligence features. Meanwhile, Apple just released its latest iPad Mini.
