'Mac your calendars': Apple to make multiple announcements next week
Apple hints at M4 MacBook and other Mac releases next week, potentially without a full event. A leaked unboxing video of the M4 MacBook Pro has surfaced, showcasing the new chip and specs. Rumors suggest a new Mac mini and the discontinuation of 8GB RAM MacBooks.

The post has a cheeky Mark (Mac) on your calendars along with a clear schedule for the announcement of the new Macs, which begins on Monday, November 4. Additionally, the Finder icon in his tweet has AI glow-time colors, hinting at the upcoming Apple Intelligence hardware for Mac users.
