Apple on Tuesday leaked the existence of the new M4 Max SoC that’s widely expected to power new MacBook Pro models to be unveiled this week.
Yippee! Looks like the M4 Max MacBook Pros will drop tomorrow I’m assuming?
Given that the “M4 Max” image assets now exist on Apples website (that prior, didn’t when I last checked)

The image has since been removed by Apple and now returns the text “Asset Not Found.”
Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:
It is already pretty obvious that Apple plans to announce new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips this week, after Apple promised multiple Mac-related announcements this week. Now, the M4 Max chip image reinforces that Apple is gearing up to announce the new laptops imminently. Apple will likely unveil the new MacBook Pro models with a press release and video on Wednesday.
With this leak, the base model 14-inch MacBook Pro leaking in Russia, and the new Mac mini leaking on Amazon, Apple has struggled to keep these M4 Mac announcements under wraps, which is pretty rare territory for the company.
This discovery comes after Apple announced the M4 Pro chip alongside the new Mac mini today. Key specifications of the M4 Pro chip include up to a 14-core CPU, up to a 20-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, support for up to 64GB of RAM, support for Thunderbolt 5, and an increased 273GB/s of memory bandwidth. For the M4 Pro chip with a 14-core CPU, there are 10 performance cores and four efficiency cores. M4 Max specifications have not leaked, but it will obviously take performance to an even higher level than the M4 Pro chip.
MacDailyNews Take: You’ll get new M4 Max MacBook Pro dropping this week (likely tomorrow) and you’ll like them (very much)!
