Leak: Macbook Pro M4 presented with 16 GB RAM and 10-core CPU

The back of the packaged Apple devices is always more interesting than the front because you can see specific details about the device inside. Apparently, the standard configuration of the M4 Macbook Pro will start at 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Macbook Pro M3, on the other hand, starts with 8 GB of memory. The M4 starts with ten CPU cores, the M3 starts with eight cores.

The image is quite blurry and difficult to read, but it can be deciphered that a Liquid Retina display with a resolution of 3,024 by 1,964 pixels is installed, i.e. the same display as the M3 Macbook Pro. The Macbook will have three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI slot, an SDXC slot and the 3.5 mm jack socket.

The mind decides whether the photo is real or fake. On the one hand, there is the QR code on the packaging with instructions for use, as it first appeared on the iPhone 16 packaging. On the other hand, the description text mentions the Apple ID, which Apple has renamed “Apple Account” since switching to iOS 18 and macOS 15 Sequoia.

The leaks about a Mac M4 are no wonder, as the general consensus is that Apple will introduce new Macs and iPads in October. However, the leaker from whom the image comes has a mixed hit rate. Some of his leaks have turned out to be true in the past, like the colors of the iPhone 15. Some things were wrong: iPhone 16 Pro should get something in the direction of rosé instead of titanium blue (true), but natural titanium should also disappear from the range (false) . Some of his claims were completely wrong: the new iPad Air should not have an additional size of 12.9 or 13 inches.
