Two Russian creators have recently shared videos showcasing what seems to be the upcoming base model 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip. As Apple has not officially announced these laptops, rumors suggest a potential launch in November.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman Highlights Russian Unboxing Videos
Mark Gurman from Bloomberg recently drew attention to a video posted by the Russian YouTube channel Wylsacom. The packaging of the MacBook Pro featured in the video resembles that of the M3 model, right down to the wallpaper on the label that Apple typically changes annually.
The video, lasting around 13 minutes, shows the host setting up the laptop and running Geekbench tests alongside a 2022 MacBook Air. The performance metrics displayed in the video suggest that these are indicative benchmarks. Overall, the MacBook Pro showcased aligns with expectations of incremental upgrades without significant external changes.
Another Russian YouTuber Implicates M4 Chip in MacBook Pro
Adding to the intrigue, Gurman highlighted another Russian YouTuber, Romancev768, who shared a video claiming to feature the M4 MacBook Pro. This unboxing video also displays last year’s wallpaper on the box and gives viewers a peek at the “About This Mac” screen, confirming the presence of an M4 chip.
The potential leak described by Gurman as “unprecedented” has raised eyebrows in the tech community. Leaker ShrimpApplePro commented on the situation, highlighting that a certain seller allegedly possesses 200 MacBook Pros. This development has been deemed as one of the most significant warehouse leaks to date. ShrimpApplePro had previously leaked images of purported 14-inch MacBook Pro packaging in the past.
