Leaks and rumours should always be taken with a pinch of salt, especially when it comes to the tech community. People often share stuff online just to grab headlines or a few likes without verifying the authenticity of the information.

Recently a potentially leaked image of M4 MacBook Pro packaging was posted on X (previously Twitter). While many were quick to speculate about the products or features based on what was visible in the images, we couldn’t verify the image source.

The potential leaked photo was shared by user @ShrimpApplePro on X and hinted at some surprising features for the upcoming M4 MacBook Pro.

According to the leaked packaging image, the new base model M4 MacBook Pro will come with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.  

Although this matches with earlier reports that all M4 Macs would start at 16GB RAM, we suggest this information should be viewed with a reminder that the image source isn’t verified.

The leaked packaging image also indicates that the M4 MacBook Pro will feature a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. If true, this will be an upgrade from the current M3 model. It right now has an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU.

A notable change is that the M4 model could have three Thunderbolt 4 ports. In comparison, the base base M3 MacBook Pro model only has two such ports.

Moreover, the mention of “SPB” with “SPB/10C CPU/10C GPU/16GB/512GB” on the leaked packaging image also caught attention. As per speculations, it might stand for Space Black, which suggests the base model could come in this colour. Last year, the base model was in the Space Gray colour option.

Some X users also pointed out some details in the image that raise some scepticism around the authenticity of the image. The packaging image shows a QR code for more information and references to “Apple ID” on the packaging. Apple has started doing this only with the iPhone 16 lineup. This makes it very intriguing what the M4 MacBook Pro lineup is preparing to offer.
