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

Apples new Macs with M4 processors are set to go on sale in November, weve 
heard from the rumor mill. 

 MacRumors , to be precise, has word from a supposedly reliable source that 
all Apples apparently planned M4-toting Macs are going to be released in 
November. 

As the tech site points out, this doesnt preclude Apple from announcing the 
M4 Macs before November. As ever, the standard way of doing things is to 
reveal the hardware first, and it doesnt go on sale until a bit later. 

The rumor mill reckons that we will see new MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch 
models with the M4 SoC , and were also expecting Mac mini and iMac M4 
refreshes to boot. 

If they all turn up as planned, these Macs could go on sale in a staggered 
launch throughout November, though MacRumors doesnt elaborate on anything 
beyond the simple mention of that month being the arrival timeframe. (Image

date 

So, how soon might the initial reveal be for these M4 Macs? Indeed, might we 
get an announcement at the imminent Apple event for September 9 , next week? 
No, in a word, as while this event will (very likely) see the launch of macOS 
15 Sequioa , there wont be any Macs on the hardware front (what we will see 
is the big iPhone 16 launch , plus Apple Watches and AirPods). 

As MacRumors points out, the announcement of these new M4 MacBooks and other 
Mac computers will likely be in October, which makes sense in terms of giving 
Apple breathing space from the September event, and, of course, October being 
the month before November. If November is the on-sale date, the Mac M4 reveal 
has to be October, really. 

This would also follow Apples pattern in terms of launch timing last year, 
where we had the Scary Fast reveal at the end of October, followed by Mac 
launches early in November. 

Theres plenty of excitement around not just what the M4 chip will bring to 
the Mac line-up  its only appeared in the iPad Pro so far  but also the 
prospect that Apple might run with a minimum spec of 16GB of system RAM 
(finally) across all its Macs at the entry-level. Its about time, really, 
particularly when it comes to the MacBook Pro 14-inch which still starts at 
8GB with the current-gen model, mystifyingly. You might also like A whopping
