Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, has confirmed plans to announce new products next week, specifically highlighting an update to the Mac lineup. Joswiak teased the announcement on social media, urging users to "Mac your calendars" as the week ahead promises exciting new product releases starting Monday morning.

While Apple is set to roll out iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 on Monday, the highly anticipated Mac announcements are expected to follow on Tuesday and beyond. This aligns with recent rumors and leaks suggesting Apple's readiness to unveil the first M4-powered Macs.

Anticipated updates include new models for the Mac mini, iMac, and MacBook Pro. These devices will feature the M4 chip, already seen in this year's iPad Pro models. The higher-end MacBook Pro versions are expected to be equipped with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, with the Mac mini also utilizing the M4 Pro.

Speculation indicates that designs for the iMac and MacBook Pro may not change significantly. However, there are hints that the Mac mini could have a reduced size, resembling an Apple TV, although it might be slightly thicker. All entry-level models are rumored to see a RAM increase from 8GB to 16GB, aiming to enhance performance for Apple Intelligence features.
