Until now, new chips have been announced at intervals of more than a year, but according to Gurman, Apple is close to starting production of the next 'M4'. Gurman said that there is a possibility that Apple will hold an event and announce it around October 2024, around the same time as the 'M3' announcement.
The 'M4' is said to be a chip optimized to improve AI performance, and there are plans to roll out iMacs equipped with the 'M4,' as well as high-end 14-inch MacBook Pros and 16-inch MacBook Pros, low-end 14-inch MacBook Pros, and Mac minis from late 2024 to 2025.
Garman said that the M4 will have three development code names: 'Hidra' for the high-end, 'Brava' for the mid-range, and 'Donan' for the low-end. The M3, which will be announced in October 2023, will be available in three models: 'M3 Max,' 'M3 Pro,' and 'M3,' and it is expected that the M4 will take over from these.
