Macs are likely getting 16GB of RAM, and it’s about damn time

The latest buzz on Apple’s fall Mac updates, courtesy of Bloomberg, is that we’ll be getting four new models equipped with M4 processors and at least 16GB or 32GB of RAM. That’s probably not shocking to the average person, but if you’re familiar with the history of Macs, that second point is significant. Apple has long made 8GB of RAM its default — even though every decent Windows laptop has had 16GB for ages.
