Apple has launched its updated Apple MacBook Pro 16 lineup, powered by the new M4 chip family. The 3nm processor — first introduced in the iPad Pro earlier this year — now anchors one of the most capable laptop ranges Apple has ever released.
- The new MacBook Pro is available with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips in 14-inch and 16-inch configurations.
- Prices in India start at Rs 1,69,999 for the base M4 / 14-inch model and go up to Rs 3,49,900 for the M4 Max variant.
- Sales begin November 8 through Apple's online store and authorised resellers.
- The laptops ship in Silver and Space Black and support Apple Intelligence and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
Apple MacBook Pro 16 Specifications and Chip Options
The new MacBook Pro models span two display sizes — 14 inch and 16 inch — and three chip tiers. The M4 is the entry-level option, built on TSMC's 3nm process and already proven in the iPad Pro. For users who need more sustained performance, Apple offers the M4 Pro. At the top of the range sits the M4 Max, aimed at creative professionals who push laptops to their limits.
All models support Apple Intelligence, the company's AI feature set currently available to US users. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing is also included across the lineup, a feature that improves real-time rendering quality for design and gaming workloads. Both Silver and Space Black finishes are available for the full range.

Apple's Broader Momentum: iPhone 16 and AI Rollout
The MacBook Pro launch follows closely on the heels of the iPhone 16 series, which has been receiving strong demand — particularly in China. Analysts expect this momentum to contribute to the biggest increase in Apple's quarterly revenue over the last two years, with total revenue projected to have grown roughly 5.7 percent in the most recent quarter and iPhone unit sales forecast to rise around 3.8 percent for the September quarter.
On the artificial intelligence front, Apple has taken a measured approach. Apple Intelligence features were introduced in a limited rollout for US customers, but have not yet reached major markets including Europe and China. This has given competitors an opening: Samsung has moved aggressively to add AI capabilities to its Android lineup, while Huawei continues to challenge Apple in China. Apple is also reportedly preparing to begin manufacturing of the iPhone SE 4 in the near future.
How Does the M4 Chip Differ from Previous Generations?
The M4 is Apple's first Mac chip built on TSMC's second-generation 3nm process node. It made its debut in the iPad Pro before arriving in the iMac 24-inch, Mac mini, and now the MacBook Pro. The M4 Pro and M4 Max extend the architecture with additional CPU and GPU cores and a larger unified memory ceiling, making them better suited to sustained professional workloads such as video editing, 3D rendering, and large-scale data processing.
When Will Apple Intelligence Be Available Outside the US?
Apple has not announced a firm timeline for rolling out Apple Intelligence to markets outside the United States. Regulatory requirements — particularly in the European Union — and localisation work are among the factors influencing the schedule. Users in Europe, China, and other regions should watch Apple's official announcements for updates on availability.
