Excitement is building as the release date for the much-anticipated M4 Macs approaches on November 1. Despite no official event announcement yet, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman believes the launch is imminent, with a potential announcement on October 30.
Gurman notes that Apple Stores are running low on various products, indicating the possibility of impending updates. The focus has primarily been on potential updates to the Mac lineup, but there have also been hints about new peripherals like the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard transitioning to USB-C.
Gurman also confirmed a media event in Los Angeles on October 30 with no traditional keynote, just product videos and press releases. This suggests that the announcement will be online-only, underscoring the shift in Apple’s approach to product launches.
The absence of a formal event may come as a disappointment, especially considering the significant updates expected for the Mac mini and other products. However, with the introduction of the M4 chip in the latest iPad Pro, some argue that a full event may not be necessary.
Regardless, all will be revealed on October 30, and the latest updates will be reported promptly.
