A Russian YouTuber recently claimed to have a genuine M4 MacBook Pro in his possession ahead of the device's official announcement.
Wylsacom recorded an unboxing video, showed off the laptop and its benchmarking scores when compared with previous Apple products.
The MacBook Pro allegedly contains an M4 chip, 16GB of memory, 512GB of storage, a 10-core CPU, and a 10-core GPU.
Several sources have stated that three Thunderbolt 4 ports will be available on the device.
The device is expected to arrive in October 2021 but has not been officially announced yet.
Wylsacom’s possession of an unreleased MacBook Pro from a company that’s obsessed with product security – despite no official ways to get one – might give pause for thought.
Apple is known to keep its products under wraps, so it is unsure how Wylsacom got hold of the MacBook Pro.
The leak calls into question Apple's product security, given the rarity of leaking functioning Apple products before their release.
However, the YouTube video is creating skepticism in the market, and experts are stating that it could be a hoax.
Apple's next line of MacBook Pros is expected to be announced later in October.
