Apple marketing VP Greg Joswiak yesterday revealed that we can expect an exciting week of Mac announcements, starting on Monday morning.
The tweet also effectively confirmed that there will be no Mac event, just press releases and small-scale briefings for select media reps and creators ...
Joz didn't reveal any specifics, but we already have a pretty good idea of what to expect.
The M4 MacBook Pro announcement seems least likely to contain any surprises, as we've had a series of what appear to be genuine leaks of both packaging and the actual machine, revealing the base model specs.
We know many of you are waiting impatiently for a new 27-inch or 30-inch iMac, but sadly we're not expecting one to be launched next week.
Instead we're expecting a spec-bumped 24-inch iMac, likely with specs similar to the base model MacBook Pro, above.
The M4 Mac mini is expected to be a significantly better upgrade, with a compact form factor similar to the Apple TV.
There's of course always speculation about anything else that might be in the pipeline, but it doesn't seem too likely.
First, if there were anything unexpected, that would potentially have been enough to tip the balance to an actual event, rather than a series of press releases.
Second, Apple doesn't usually announce new products on a Friday, and we have the earnings report on Thursday, so that leaves three days for three announcements: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
