Apple's next wave of product launches could happen as soon as October 28, with M4 Mac models arriving as part of a very busy week for the company.
The current Mac mini design
Apple is expected to be introducing new Mac updates in the near future, including a New Mac mini and upgrades to the 14-inch MacBook Pro and the 16-inch MacBook Pro. While the exact timing isn't known, it could possibly be just a week away.
In an X post on Tuesday, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman outlined Apple's week from October 28 to November 1. The week starts with the introduction of Apple Intelligence as part of Apple's operating system releases on Monday, while the earnings results will occur on October 31.
However, Gurman adds that there will be an "M4 Mac launch" between the other two events. At face value, that would mean launches happening between Monday, October 28 or Wednesday, October 30.
Given that Apple generally likes to announce new hardware at about 9AM ET, we're guessing October 29. Furthermore, Apple has a history of preferring to hold events and product launches on a Tuesday, making that the most likely day for hardware introductions.
It is still unclear whether Apple will hold an actual event for the Mac launches, or will proceed with a press release-based introduction.
