Apple to launch M7 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro in early 2027

Apple is preparing a significant refresh of its MacBook Pro and iPad Pro lines for the first half of 2027, according to reports. The company is developing a redesigned entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro and updated 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, with both product families expected to feature the next-generation M7 processor.

The new entry-level MacBook Pro, internally referred to as K104, is slated to adopt a new design language. This design is expected to align with the upcoming high-end MacBook Pro refresh, which is anticipated to feature OLED touch screens and a new chassis. A notable change may include the replacement of the current display notch with a punch-hole camera, similar to recent iPhone models. The current MacBook Pro design has remained largely unchanged since its 2021 overhaul.

For the iPad Pro, the updates are expected to focus on internal improvements. The tablets are anticipated to retain their 11-inch and 13-inch screen sizes without a major external redesign. A key upgrade under consideration is the implementation of a vapor chamber cooling system to manage heat more effectively with the new, more powerful chips. Apple last updated the iPad Pro line in...
