The upcoming M4 chip for Apple's Mac lineup is anticipated to feature slight performance improvements over the M3, with the addition of a new webcam similar to those found in the iMac and MacBook Pro. The M4 will also support up to three displays, which is a notable enhancement from the M3's capability. Additionally, refreshes for the 10.9-inch iPad and iPad Air are in the pipeline, although the exact processors remain unclear. A notable upgrade potential includes the inclusion of Apple Intelligence technology for the iPad, demanding advanced chip specifications.
Aside from the M4's modest performance improvements over the M3, Apple may introduce a new webcam to match the iMac and MacBook Pros.
The M4 can support up to three displays simultaneously—two external displays plus the internal display—expanding capabilities compared to the M3.
Gurman mentions that refreshes for the iPad models are coming soon, particularly the basic 10.9-inch iPad and the iPad Air, not far behind the M4 MacBook Airs.
The current iPad Air lineup uses the M2 chip; either the M3 or M4 could be the next upgrade for the iPad family.
