Apple’s supply chain has reportedly started mass production of MacBook Pros with M4 processors

It seems that M4 chips can’t virtualize any version of macOS before 13.4, according to a new Eclectic Light report. 

Apple’s supply chain began mass production of next-gen 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4 processors last month, according to DigiTimes. If the reports is accurate, we may see the upgraded laptops in October.

Counterpoint Research says Apple is waiting for the M4 MacBook launch to regain shipment momentum of laptops. AI [artificial intelligence] laptops such as the M4 MacBook will expand the AI PC market in H2 2024, according to Counterpoint Senior Analyst William Li. 

In a May edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman said “you should expect M4 Pro and M4 Max chips later this year as part of the high-end MacBook Pro. He added that he expects Apple to release three new Macs with the standard M4 chip later this year, including a lower-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini.
