【Naked Reunion (1993)】

The Naked Reunion (1993)leaked M4 Macbook Pro saga just keeps getting worse for Apple.

What started with one Russian YouTuber showing off the yet-to-be-announced laptop has now escalated with a second video from a channel dubbed Romancev768.His unboxing may be less thorough, but it’s another piece of evidence fueling the growing speculation that Apple’s next-gen hardware is on the horizon. This follows claims from just last week on X (formerly Twitter) that someone was trying to flip an M4 MacBook Pro on Facebook Marketplace.

Apple, of course, hasn’t announced these laptops yet. Bloomberg’sMark Gurman, an Apple analyst and leaker, says late October is the target date for an announcement, which leaves plenty of room for doubt. Are these actual M4 models or just elaborate fakes?

TechCrunch points out that both unboxings feature the same model numbers and packaging, hinting they could either be from a leaked batch of real devices — or the same knockoff unit is being passed around the Russian tech scene for clicks. Either way, it’s not exactly the product rollout Apple had in mind.

Gurman’s Power Onnewsletter reports that Apple is set to launch new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models powered by M4 chips, which debuted in the iPad Pro earlier this year. The lineup also includes a redesigned Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro chips, a refreshed iMac with M4, and a new iPad mini. Expect these releases soon as Apple continues its M-series expansion.

The leaked videos show the 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro with 512GB in Space Black — a color previously exclusive to the 16-inch model. It features three Thunderbolt 4 ports instead of the usual two and starts with 16GB of RAM. Under the hood, it’s powered by a 10-core variant of the new M4 chip.

How these Russian YouTubers managed to get their hands on these M4 MacBook Pros is a real mystery. Apple is prohibited from selling its products in Russia, and the model numbers suggest these laptops were meant for the U.S. market. It’s hard to believe that a security-obsessed company like Apple could lose multiple flagship laptops in an embargoed country.

For Apple's sake, let's hope these are some super well-made dupes.
