Description:
A regular Apple leaker has another nugget underlining that the MacBook Pro M4 
is ready to hit the shelves in Q4.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Apples MacBook Pro with M4 is on track for a launch in the final quarter of 
2024, if the latest in a line of rumors about the next-gen laptop is to be 
believed. 

This comes from a regular source of Apple info, Ross Young, who heads up 
Display Supply Chain Consultants, and has told us before that a MacBook Pro 
M4 is inbound for later in 2024 . 

That speculation was based on the timing of display panel shipments for the 
MacBook Pro M4 happening in Q3. As Apple Insider reports, Young has just told 
us that screens for the MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch with M4 silicon have 
started shipping in July and August, just as predicted. 

This lines up with a theoretical Q4 launch, of course  the displays for the 
laptop have to be shipped well in advance, so the devices can be put 
together, tested, and shipped themselves  as Young noted in a post on X 
which, oddly, has now been deleted. 

In short, the likelihood is a fall (September or October) reveal for the 
MacBook Pro M4, followed by the laptops going on sale shortly after. (Image

The rumors around the MacBook Pro M4 are fairly consistent and coming through 
quite regularly now, so while we can never be sure about anything filtering 
down from the grapevine, a late 2024 release seems to be a pretty solid 
possibility when you add up all the separate bits of speculation. 

There is an oddity here, as mentioned, which is Young deleting his post on X. 
Its a bit unusual for this to happen, seeing as Young, and other well-known 
leakers, spill details that they shouldnt all the time  but maybe this 
particular nugget trod on somebodys toes (a source, presumably) in a painful 
manner, somehow? We can only speculate (ironically) about that. 

These MacBook Pros likely wont be the only Apple devices to arrive this year 
packing the M4 processor, which has so far only graced the iPad Pro. Leaker 
Mark Gurman also expects Mac mini and iMac models with the M4 SoC to be 
launched later in 2024. (The iMac could be getting bigger with a 
larger-screened model, while the Mac mini M4 might shrink , incidentally). 

Well doubtless get other M4 machines next year, too, and Gurman believes they 
will be the MacBook Air (which will surely happen), Mac Pro, and Mac Studio.
