APPLE REPORTEDLY TESTING NEW IPAD PRO MODELS AND REDESIGNED ENTRY-LEVEL MACBOOK PRO FOR 2027

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple is reportedly testing four new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models for a spring 2027 launch, focusing mainly on internal upgrades such as faster chips and potentially vapor chamber cooling, while also planning a redesigned 14-inch entry-level MacBook Pro that could arrive as early as the first half of 2027. Bloomberg also says Apple is accelerating the launch of its M7 chip to better handle AI workloads, following the upcoming M6 generation. Although memory and chip shortages could still affect the roadmap, these devices are expected to contribute to what could be Apple's biggest product year yet in 2027.
