◆MacBook Pro with M4
Apple is set to unveil a new 14-inch MacBook Pro with three chips: the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max. The base model is rumored to have 16GB of RAM, a space black color, and a Thunderbolt port on the right side of the device.

In addition, the M4-equipped MacBook Pro is an unreleased device at the time of writing, but Russian YouTubers have released a video of this MacBook Pro being unboxed. The appearance of the M4-equipped MacBook Pro seen in the unboxing video is almost unchanged from the previous model, but when comparing performance with the benchmark software Geekbench, it can be confirmed that it has a higher score than the M3 Pro-equipped MacBook Pro.

◆Mac mini with M4
The Mac mini to be announced in October 2024 is expected to undergo a major redesign for the first time in 14 years. The new Mac mini is expected to be smaller and have I/O ports on the front of the device for the first time. In addition, the new Mac mini will no longer have USB-A ports and will be equipped with an M4 or M4 Pro chip. Memory (RAM) will be available from at least 16GB.

◆ iMac with M4
A new iMac model is also expected, but the chip will be upgraded from M3 to M4, and few other changes are expected. The RAM of the base model is expected to be upgraded from 8GB to 16GB, which is the same as other new Macs.

Additionally, 9to5Mac reports that Apple is likely to release new Magic Keyboards, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpads that are USB-C compatible to comply with European Union (EU) regulations.

◆ 7th generation iPad mini
In addition, Apple is planning to release the 7th generation iPad mini, which will be the first new iPad mini in over three years. This 7th generation iPad mini will be equipped with the A18 processor that supports Apple Intelligence. Mark Gurman, who is well known for leaking information about the 7th generation iPad mini, predicts that 'there will be almost no physical changes to the new iPad mini, and the main focus will be on improving the specifications,' and 9to5Mac reported that 'we expect it to have a new display that fixes the jelly scrolling .'
