Apple is gearing up for another event, likely scheduled for October, to unveil new Macs and iPads. This will mark the fourth October event for the company in five years. Last year's event, held virtually on October 30, saw the introduction of new MacBook Pro and iMac models powered by the M3 series of chips. While the announcement may occur next month, the actual release of the new Macs could take place in November. Here are five notable changes expected with the new M4 Macs.
The M4 chip made its debut in the iPad Pro back in May, but the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips have yet to be announced. These high-performance chips are set to launch in the latest MacBook Pro models later this year. While specific details about the M4 Pro and Max chips remain under wraps, they are expected to utilise TSMC's advanced 3nm process technology, which the A18 and base M4 chips also share. Historically, each new chip generation brings enhanced speed and performance, although the exact core counts for the M4 Pro and Max remain unknown at this time.

For eight years, Apple has equipped its base model Macs with 8GB of RAM. The shift to 16GB comes as Apple's applications become more memory-intensive, reflecting the evolving needs of users.
