These are launching before then.<\/p>\n<p>If accurate, it would be one of the biggest updates to Apple\u2019s entry-level Pro laptop in years. The current model already benefits from Apple Silicon performance, but its overall design has remained largely familiar. A refreshed chassis would help narrow the gap between the most affordable MacBook Pro and Apple\u2019s higher-end offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The redesign could also arrive alongside some much bigger changes to Apple\u2019s laptop range. Gurman says the company is still expected to introduce its first touchscreen MacBook around the M6 generation. However, it\u2019s not yet clear whether that feature will make its way to the entry-level Pro. It might remain exclusive to more expensive models.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>The MacBook isn\u2019t the only product reportedly in Apple\u2019s pipeline. The company is also said to be testing four new iPad Pro models. Although the focus appears to be on performance upgrades rather than a major redesign, the existing 11-inch and 13-inch screen sizes are expected to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Spring has increasingly become an important launch window for Apple. Earlier this year, the company unveiled several products in quick succession, including the MacBook Neo, new iPads, updated MacBook Pros and a new iPhone. If Gurman\u2019s report proves accurate, spring 2027 could follow a similar pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the redesigned MacBook Pro and refreshed iPad Pro lineup, Apple is also expected to launch the standard iPhone 18 and a new version of the iPhone Air.
