Apple’s new Mac computers with the Apple M4 chip will bring about a revolutionary change. The company will finally say goodbye to 8GB of RAM…

Apple is preparing for an event called It’s Glowtime, which will be held on September 9, 2024. It will showcase new Apple iPhone smartphones, as well as Apple AirPods headphones and Apple Watch smartwatches. According to reports, the Cupertino company is currently focused on testing several new Apple Mac computers that will be equipped with the Apple M4 chip. It turns out that all new products can count on a decent amount of RAM.

The next generation of Apple Mac computers will be able to take advantage of the new Apple M4 chip. However, the main change will be that each machine in the base version will get 16, not 8 GB of RAM.

For more than a decade, the opinions of users and Apple about the amount of RAM (although it is actually unified) in Apple Mac computers have been very divided. The Cupertino giant claims that 8 GB of memory in the basic variants is quite enough, but some users have noted that this amount is not suitable for more advanced tasks. Especially since cheaper equipment from competitors has been offering more capacity for a long time. According to the latest reports, this “tradition” of Apple may soon change. They note, although in fact it is a report from the editorial office of Bloomberg, which is headed by Mark Gurman, that the company is currently testing four new models of Apple Mac computers, each of which will be equipped with unified memory of 16 or 32 GB. All variants are also based on the recently introduced Apple M4 chip.

It is also known that not every computer will receive the same version of the Apple M4 chip. Three of them will be able to use the version with a 10-core processor and a 10-core graphics system, and one device will be “powered” by an 8-core processor and an 8-core graphics system. The new products will most likely be presented a month after the It’s Glowtime event, that is, in October 2024. We can count on an updated version of the Mac mini, MacBook Pro and Apple iMac computers. This change in the size of unified memory will certainly be useful to users, the only question that remains is: why is it so late?
