    Sounds like it will be the same as the last, small incremental upgrades. That’s perfectly fine, every release of mostly anything doesn’t need to be massive overhauls.

      Agreed. A massive overhaul just introduces more problems. I wish they did the same with the OS updates.

    This is fine to me… 2026 is the year I start looking to replace my M1. I usually go 5-7 years between refreshes.

      yeah this news is only disappointing for people who buy new computers every year (is that even a thing?). Whatever upgrades it has will also feature the last 4+ years of updates, so to someone coming from an M4 yeah yikes. But for my m1 max? it will be noticeable.

        The only upgrade that matters for most non-gaming or video production use cases any more is RAM anyway.

          True… I still regularly use my 2008 17” MBP and it’s always the RAM that’s the limiting factor.

            My 2018 Mac mini (the last model with upgradable ram) has 64gb and it’s way faster than any m4 without 64gb. I will keep it until it’s completely untenable to do so. Minimum 10 years, I’m hoping I can manage 15-20. Maybe by then I’ll actually be able to afford a new Mac with 64gb or more.
