Don’t buy a new MacBook right now..

Rajesh Pandey from Cult of Mac:

In the latest Power On edition, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman claims Apple will release its new M4-powered Macs on November 1. These include a new low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 chip and high-end versions of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro featuring M4 Pro and Max.

M4 iMac and a revamped Mac mini with a smaller design should also launch on November 1. A new iPad mini with a faster chip will supposedly debut alongside the M4 Macs.

Gurman reports that Apple will release iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence support on October 28. So, the company might officially unveil its new Macs on the same day, presumably via a press release.

The M4 MacBook Pros are not unsurprising, but what I’m really interested to see is what Apple will do with the new desktops. If we are getting an all new design for the Mac mini, then surely we should be getting new USB-C accessories? Apple’s Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad all still charge via lightning, and that is just not acceptable anymore in 2024.

Just wait till they announce these Macs before buying one now. You can either get the latest and greatest hardware that will last longer, or you can score an even better deal when the M3 hardware goes on deep discounts.
