Rumors have been swirling of a MacBook Pro M4 release, but before you get too excited, it's tough to say if they are true. Here's what you need to know.

The Apple Silicon M4 was launched in May 2024. For the first time, Apple’s new M series debuted not in a Mac but in an iPad, the seventh generation of the iPad Pro. Mac fans will have been waiting nearly six months for an M4 MacBook when the laptops hit the shelves in November.

Apple revealing a new M4 MacBook Air model (either the 13-inch or 15-inch, or even both) would be a highlight at the event, as the MacBook Air is one of the most popular laptops in the world.
