M4 MacBook Pros may arrive alongside macOS Sequoia in the fourth quarter

I’m hoping for an OLED MacBook Pro sooner than later. And a new forecast hints that such a laptop could be popular.

macOS Sequoia is expected to roll out in September or October. And Apple might introduce new MacBooks Pros along with the operating system update.

According to a now-deleted post to X by Display Supply — as noted by AppleInsider — Chain Consultants CEO Ross Young, panel shipments started in July and August for the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro. He said that a fourth quarter launch for the M4-equipped models “makes sense” based on these shipments.

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.
