Bloomberg reports that Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models for spring 2027, in addition to a revamped entry-level MacBook Pro slated for as early as the first half of next year. Here are the details.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2027 keeps getting busier<\/h2>\n

According to the report, Apple has been testing four new iPad Pro models, which should keep the current display sizes (11 inches and 13 inches), all of which are \u201cplanned to arrive in spring 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the report:<\/p>\n

The updates will largely focus on internal improvements, including faster chips. Apple has previously tested a vapor chamber cooling system for the tablets, to improve sustained performance and reduce overheating, Bloomberg has reported.<\/p>\n

Apple last updated the iPad Pro lineup in October 2025 with the M5 chip. More recently, the company raised the starting price of the 11-inch model from $999 to $1,199, while the 13-inch version increased from $1,299 to $1,499.<\/p>\n

In the past, there have been rumors about Apple planning to launch a foldable iPad Pro in 2027, but those reports pointed to a much larger 18.8-inch display. The four models reportedly being tested appear more likely to be a conventional refresh of the existing lineup.<\/p>\n

As for the new entry-level MacBook Pro, Bloomberg says:<\/p>\n

Apple is also preparing a revamped entry-level MacBook Pro, code-named K104, for as early as the first half of next year. The 14-inch laptop will adopt a new design in line with what Apple is preparing for higher-end MacBooks with touch screens due between the end of this year and early next year.<\/p>\n

The report notes that Apple \u201chad already finished work months ago on a refreshed entry-level MacBook Pro codenamed J804,\u201d adding that it \u201chas been planned for this year with the current design and a new base M6 chip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Bloomberg says Apple is aiming to debut the M7 processor \u201cas early as the first half of 2027,\u201d accelerating the transition from the upcoming M6 generation. The…<\/p>\n
