Apple might have only debuted its M3 Macs a few months ago but that hasn't stopped the company from forging ahead with the next generation of its custom chips, and now it seems that it's readying a slew of upgraded models powered by M4 silicon.

Apple's M3 chips arrived in the form of the base M3, upgraded M3 Pro, and higher-end M3 Max in October of 2023. The trio of chips is offered in a range of Macs including the 2023 iMac, upgraded M3 MacBook Air, and more.
