M4 Max briefly leaked on Apple's website – what it tells us about the MacBook Pro

Apple is announcing a slew of Mac devices this week – and some of them may have just leaked.

As discovered by developer Charlie Joseph on Given that there is no M4 Max chip yet (at least not at the time of writing), this is a pretty big leak. With everyone expecting new MacBook Pros to be announced this week, it's reasonable to assume there will be a model with an M4 Max chip.

Of course, it is not yet possible to say what this will look like on a practical level. The M4 Max could significantly improve battery efficiency, overall performance, and perhaps even gaming performance if Apple felt like going that route. But without even putting out a press release, it's hard to predict how much better the M4 Max will be.

There will most likely be regular M4 and M4 Pro models as well. The M4 Pro has also found its way into the new Mac mini. If you're in the market for a new MacBook Pro, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled.
