Apple has just announced that it will release new Macs next week, as it teased the Finder logo on X. The news was shared by the company's SVP marketing, Greg Joswiak with a tagline "Mac your calendars" as new M4 Macs are on their way. This is not the first time that we have heard details of a dedicated Apple event for the Mac, but the news was not official.
Apple officially announced M4 MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and 24-inch iMac launch date
Apple is expected to launch a wide range of M4 Macs next week, including the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, the redesigned Mac mini, and the new 24-inch iMac. All Macs will be powered by different variants of the M4 chip, which will go all the way from the M4 chip to the M4 Max. From the announcement and the invite, it can be speculated that there will be no dedicated event for the devices. Instead, the company will release the new Macs via a press release, the same method that the company adopted for the iPad mini 7.
As for what you should expect, Apple will announce the new M4 MacBook Pro models, which will not feature any design changes this time around, as the company will only brag about its new processor. The MacBook Pro models will feature M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, which will enhance the computational and graphical performance of the machines.
The M4 Mac mini is expected to receive a major design refresh with the device expected to be more compact than the current models. The height and the width are both rumored to be reduced and it will be an overall less intrusive device. The device is expected to get M4 and M4 Pro chips for better performance.

Lastly, the company is also expected to release the new 24-inch iMac with an M4 chip which will launch with the same design as the current models. We only expected the machine to feature a single-chip configuration.
The company is also expected to release new software updates on Monday, including iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, macOS Sequoia 15.1, tvOS 18.1, and visionOS 2.1 to the public. The updates will bring Apple Intelligence to the company's entire product line and it seems like the perfect venue for the new Macs to hit the market. We will keep you posted with the latest details on the products and the software, so be sure to stick around.
