Apple’s unreleased M4 MacBook Pro is being sold on the black market
Apple is a few weeks away from unveiling several M4 Macs and the new iPad mini 7. That's what all the leaks say, and I don't have any reason to question them at this point. The M4 MacBook Pro appeared in a couple of hands-on videos in the past few days, so there shouldn't be much of a question that it's about to be announced.
The good news for buyers is that Apple is indeed preparing a few exciting upgrades for the base M4 14-inch MacBook Pro, which will make it an even better purchase than its predecessor. The bad news — at least, for Apple — is that someone was able to steal a bunch of these laptops. It's unclear what the backstory is, but the Russian YouTubers who posted hands-on videos of the M4 MacBook Pro bought the unreleased laptop from somewhere.
Some said the M4 MacBook Pro was available via a Facebook group, but the seller has apparently gone further than that. The M4 MacBook Pro was being sold, at least briefly, on the black market in Russia. Spoiler alert: The base M4 MacBook Pro will be a much better value than the M3 variant, but you should absolutely not pay $7,500 for a stolen unit.
