Ahead of Apple’s (yet unannounced) October event, where new Macs are expected to arrive, a photo has emerged that claims to show the outer packaging of the new MacBook Pro M4. “Unconfirmed” recording It was spread by famous ex-leaker @ShrimpApplePro, who has been right many times before. It’s hard to decide whether the photo is real or fake – but the information is certainly interesting.

Details and doubts
The photo shows a “14-inch MacBook Pro” sticker with an M4 chip, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. That will probably be the standard model, since devices with more RAM and larger SSDs usually have these values in a smaller format on the other side of the box. The other fields of the recording appear to be legitimate, with the exception of the fact that an “Apple ID” is mentioned instead of the new “Apple Account”, which Apple itself still does. Specifications of iPhone 16 Pro This was done before it was fixed.
A new QR code can also be found on the packaging of the iPhone 16. However, such an image is very easy to fake – also because it is comparatively blurry. A “red flag” is that too Pictures of the front view of the packaging were also revealed Do they show the current MacBook Pro wallpapers that Apple will definitely change.
Dream fulfilled at Apple?
If the information is indeed correct, Apple will fulfill some user requests for the standard model. The M4 SoC has been expected for a long time, but as 16GB of RAM is not standard at the moment, users will have to live with 8GB. An additional Thunderbolt 4 port is also listed – that would be three instead of just two for the standard model.
Finally, it seems that the color “Space Black” may be part of the entry-level model for the first time. This in turn is confusing because Apple reserves this particular color only for the more expensive variants – at least until now. However, these may get a new special color. Overall, these innovations would be desirable. We won’t find out whether they’re true until mid-to-late October – then we can look forward to Apple’s next Mac event.
