Mac Pro and Studio won’t get the M4 green light until mid-2025

However, throughout 2024, all of Apple’s laptops (except the MacBook Air) will move to the M4 chip that the company just supplied in the iPad Pro, Gurman writes. Oddly enough, this choppy chip upgrade cycle means that the iPad Pro is currently the single-core performance champion of Apple’s lineup – and it will continue to be for about a year, compared to the Mac Studio and Mac Pro.

It’s a silly comparison, of course: the current generation of Mac Studios and Mac Pros are incredible computers that pack more RAM, have more ports, and don’t slow down as quickly as the iPad Pro, even with this heat-conducting Apple logo. . They also don’t have an operating system that outright prevents them from pushing their hardware. And high-end Mac users should be used to waiting a while between revisions. Still, I’m sure more than a few people will appreciate the upgrade when it arrives.
