If you’re hankering for a new Mac Studio or Mac Pro with an M4 chip, you might have to wait until 2025 to get it.
Per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Pro-level Macs aren’t expected until the tail-end of the M4 migration process. This, in turn, could lead to the desktops not arriving until the second half of 2025.
This is not the first time that this has been said. The most recent iteration of the schedule was in May, but it’s been fairly consistent for about six months.
Apple’s M3 chip debuted with Pro and Max versions out of the gate, at the October 2023 MacBook event. The M1 chip started at the base of the line, and worked its way up to Pro, Max, and Ultra. It would be more than a year for the M1 Ultra to debut in the refreshed Mac Pro and the Mac Studio.
It’s also not the first time a Mac has skipped a generation. The iMac went from M1 to M3 processor, with no M2 generation to speak of.
Relatively speaking, Apple only sells a few Mac Studio or Mac Pro units. The company’s flagships remain the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines, which readily outsell the desktop units.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
