The latest reports indicate that the company is planning a design change for the MacBook Pro, along with launching a new series of iPad Pro devices in the first half of 2027 as part of a strategy aimed at enhancing performance and offering more modern designs.

New Design for the Standard MacBook Pro

According to a report by journalist Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple is working on launching an updated version of the 14-inch MacBook Pro in the first half of 2027. The device is expected to feature a new visual design that aligns with the next generation of Mac computers, which the company is likely to unveil starting in fall 2026.

Predictions also suggest that the new design could pave the way for the first MacBook equipped with a touch screen, a feature that has been rumored about for some time. It is expected to come with the M6 chip-based generation.

Four New iPad Pro Models Alongside the New Laptop

Apple is testing four new versions of the iPad Pro. Although the full specifications have not been disclosed, reports confirm that the devices will focus on improving performance while retaining the current screen options of 11 inches and 13 inches.

Spring 2027 could see a wave of releases

Projections indicate that spring 2027 will be a busy season for Apple releases, following the unveiling of devices such as the MacBook Neo and a new version of iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro in a short period during spring 2026.

The company is also expected to unveil the basic iPhone 18 during the same period, along with an update for the iPhone Air, making the first months of 2027 one of the most active periods in Apple's release history.

Move towards a new generation of processors

Reports suggest that Apple may begin to transition to a new generation of processors during this phase, with predictions of relying on the M7 processor in some future devices as part of its plan to continue improving performance and energy efficiency across its products.
