In a surprising turn of events, Apple's yet-to-be-announced M4 MacBook Pro has surfaced on a Russian online marketplace, adding another layer to the ongoing leak saga surrounding the device.
The listing, which appeared on the Russian classifieds website Avito, offered the unreleased laptop for a staggering ₽720,000 (approximately $7,500). This price tag far exceeds the $1,599 starting price of the current M3 MacBook Pro, highlighting the premium placed on unreleased Apple products.
Key details of the leaked device:
- Processor: Apple M4 chip with 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU
- Memory: 16GB unified RAM
- Storage: 512GB SSD
- Color: Space Black finish
This configuration aligns with previously leaked information, suggesting a common source for the various M4 MacBook Pro units that have appeared in unboxing videos and benchmarks across the internet.
The legitimacy of these leaks remains uncertain. While the sheer number and consistency of the leaks lend some credibility, several aspects raise doubts:
- Apple's alleged reuse of the M3 MacBook Pro wallpaper, a practice the company typically avoids.
- The possibility of sophisticated modifications to existing models to mimic M4 features.
- The ease of faking benchmark results.
It's worth noting that selling unreleased Apple products can have serious legal consequences. Apple has a history of aggressively pursuing leakers, with some facing prison time for their actions.
As we approach the rumored November announcement date for the M4 MacBook Pro, the tech community eagerly awaits official confirmation from Apple. Until then, these leaks provide an intriguing, if unreliable, glimpse into what might be the next generation of Apple's flagship laptop.
Potential buyers should exercise extreme caution, as purchasing unreleased products carries significant risks, both financial and legal. As always, it's advisable to wait for official releases and authorized channels when considering a new tech purchase.
