In a surprise move, Apple's Senior Vice President Greg Joswiak has hinted at a "week" of Mac announcements starting Monday, fueling speculation about the tech giant's plans to upgrade its computer lineup with the latest M4 chips.

The news comes on the heels of rumors and leaks about Apple's plans to release a suite of Macs powered by M4 chips, including a low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, high-end 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros, a new iMac, and a redesigned Mac Mini. The M4 chip, first announced in May alongside new iPad Pros, is expected to bring significant performance boosts to Apple's computers.

Russian YouTubers have also posted videos showcasing what appear to be MacBook Pros with M4 chips, lending credence to the rumors. This development is significant for the tech community, as it suggests Apple is poised to make a major push into the computer market.

The lack of a formal product event this October has not deterred Apple from making a splash, and the tech world will be watching closely as the announcements unfold.
