It definitely makes sense with <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/guides\/apple-intelligence\/\">Apple Intelligence<\/a> being more memory intensive on our devices.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mac-mini-redesign\">Mac mini redesign<\/h2>\n<p>Recent reports have suggested that Apple\u2019s upcoming<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47ihrDe\"> Mac mini <\/a>will be the<a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/08\/08\/apple-preparing-major-mac-mini-redesign-for-later-this-year-report-says\/\"> biggest redesign<\/a> in the computers 14 year history, with the upcoming model expected to shrink significantly. In the process, it\u2019ll also <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/09\/01\/m4-mac-mini-details\/\">likely lose support for USB-A<\/a>, although it should gain some additional USB-C ports to make up for it.

Given the fact that Apple has to comply with the European Union\u2019s USB-C mandate by the <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/12\/08\/iphone-must-use-usb-c-in-eu-2024\/\">end of this year<\/a>, it\u2019s almost certain that we\u2019ll be seeing goodbye to lightning on Apple\u2019s desktop accessories with the new M4 <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XwhKqG\">iMac<\/a> refresh.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-space-black-on-the-cheapest-macbook-pro\">Space Black on the cheapest MacBook Pro<\/h2>\n<p>Currently, Space Black is exclusive to the higher end M3 Pro and M3 Max <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dQUsBz\">MacBook Pros<\/a>, and isn\u2019t available on the base model <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dQUsBz\">M3 MacBook Pro<\/a>. That computer unfortunately still comes in Space Gray. While this might seem like a deliberate choice, it could just be a matter of convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, when the new M3 MacBook Pro was released, it was discovered that they were running macOS Ventura <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2023\/11\/07\/m3-macbook-pro-imac-sonoma-fails\/\">out of the box<\/a>, rather than the latest macOS Sonoma. This might not seem like much, but the M3 Pro and M3 Max <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dQUsBz\">MacBook Pros<\/a> did run macOS Sonoma.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the base model M3 ran Ventura might suggest that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dQUsBz\">MacBooks<\/a> were ready to ship earlier than the higher end models, but Apple just simply didn\u2019t release them. This could explain why the base model still comes with the older Space Gray color, rather than being consistent.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, that means we\u2019ll see Space Black come to Apple\u2019s cheapest M4 <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dQUsBz\">MacBook Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1406\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-918082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=155,87 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=655,368 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=350,197 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=140,79 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=1600,900 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/11\/macbook-pro-space-black0008.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brand-new-m4-pro-and-m4-max-chips\">Brand new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips<\/h2>\n<p>Although we already saw the base model M4 chip debut in the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dQUsBz\">iPad Pro<\/a> back in May, we still haven\u2019t seen Apple\u2019s higher end chips, the M4 Pro and the M4 Max. Those chips should be making their debut for the very first time in the new higher end <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4dQUsBz\">MacBook Pros<\/a> later this month.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have concrete leaks on the M4 Pro and Max chips, other than the fact that they should be based on TSMC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/05\/10\/m4-already-apple-abandoning-m3\/\">more efficient 3nm process<\/a>, shared by the A18 and M4 chips. They\u2019ll be faster as per usual, although there\u2019s no word on the core counts at the moment.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wi-Fi 7<\/h2>\n<p>Apple is likely to support the Wi-Fi 7 standard on the upcoming M4 Macs, as they did on the <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/09\/09\/the-entire-iphone-16-lineup-adds-support-for-faster-wi-fi-7\/\">iPhone 16 lineup<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wi-Fi 7 supports speeds of up to 46 Gbps, which is over five times faster than Wi-Fi 6E\u2019s 9 Gbps. Wi-Fi 7 also operates on 320 MHz channels and supports the 6 GHz band, widely reducing interference and signal congestion.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wrap-up\">Wrap up<\/h2>\n<p>Overall, the M4 Mac lineup seems quite exciting \u2013 especially the base model MacBook Pro. It\u2019ll be interesting to see whether or not things prices change, given the RAM upgrade. The Mac mini gaining its first redesign in over a decade is also exciting, especially with frontal I\/O.<\/p>\n<p>Does the upcoming M4 Mac lineup excite you? Will you be buying one?
