The past few weeks have not been kind to Apple. In the middle of the company’s preparations to eventually launch the M4 MacBook Pro lineup, a series of extensive leaks have revealed a copious amount of details. However, those were just for the base model, as information concerning the remaining configurations was kept in the dark, but not anymore. It appears that the company might have accidentally leaked the specifications of the smaller 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro, revealing that the base variant can be paired with additional amounts of memory.
Apple might also offer an upgraded base M4 MacBook Pro with 16GB of unified RAM as the bare minimum
While searching for leaks surrounding the M4 MacBook Pro on Google, Reddit user Yunseok-12 stumbled upon an image of what could be the potential configurations of the 14-inch model. The website’s link appears to be legit, but the contents are incomplete, with the images of the portable Mac missing, along with some extra web commands that are displayed after ‘Built for Apple Intelligence.’ When we tried to copy the URL and paste it into a browser, we were directed to the M3 models, indicating that Apple might have covered up its alleged mistake.
Of course, it is fairly simple to create a mockup like this and post it online to deceive readers, publications, and potential buyers, but the general conclusion in the Reddit thread is that it could be the real deal. Assuming that it is, the M4 with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU comes with 16GB unified RAM and 512GB internal storage as the bare minimum. For those who forgot, this is the exact same configuration that found its way into the hands of one of the Russian YouTubers, who also ended up posting its Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core scores, which were slightly higher than what the M4 iPad Pro obtained with the same SoC.
The top-end model for the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro can be configured with 28GB of unified RAM and a 1TB SSD. While the RAM count is odd, it is what it is. As for those who want to point out that the new Macs only ship with the Space Black finish instead of Space Gray, keep in mind that those variants are for the 16-inch version. As for the 14-inch model, the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max are still offered in Space Gray and Silver. Apple was previously reported to set up an announcement for November 1, so we will wait for more details to come through then. During this period, we recommend treating these leaks with a pinch of salt.
