Apple soon to unveil first Macs with AI-focused M4 chips and Apple Intelligence

Apple is gearing up for a second special event expected to take place next month during which the company will unveil its first Macs with AI-focused M4 chips and Apple Intelligence features.

Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:

Here are the highlights, including the code names:

• J604: a new low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip.
• J614 and J616: new high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, each with two pro-level M4 chip options.
• J623: a new iMac with the M4 chip.
• J773: the revamped, smaller Mac mini in M4 and M4 Pro chip variations.

I’m told that most of these Macs are already shipping from factories (save for some of the higher-end MacBook Pros and the Mac mini with the M4 Pro) and are ready for launch right now. Of course, Apple is going to hold everything until all of the new Macs can ship around the same time. As I also previously reported, M4 MacBook Airs (J713 and J715) are scheduled for the first quarter of 2025 and a new Mac Studio (J575) is coming around the middle of next year. A Mac Pro (J704), meanwhile, will launch before the end of 2025.
