Apple plans new iPad Pro and redesigned entry‑level MacBook Pro for 2027

Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models—11‑inch and 13‑inch sizes—targeted for a spring 2027 launch. The updates will primarily involve faster Apple‑silicon, with the M7 processor expected in the first half of 2027, and the company has experimented with vapor‑chamber cooling to sustain performance under heavy workloads.

At the same time, Apple is developing a redesigned entry‑level 14‑inch MacBook Pro (codenamed K104). The new chassis will align with the design language of upcoming higher‑end touchscreen MacBooks and is slated for release in the first half of 2027. Apple is accelerating the shift from the M6 to the M7 generation to boost AI‑focused tasks, while ongoing memory and silicon shortages could shift timelines.

Unconfirmed reports also suggest Apple may eventually adopt OLED panels covering about 95 % of the BT.2020 colour gamut for future Macs and iPads, but the company has not officially announced such displays. Separate forecasts indicate a refreshed Mac Studio with an M5 Ultra chip in 2026 and an M7 Ultra model in 2028, reflecting a broader hardware refresh plan for the next few years.
