The topic Apple reportedly testing new iPad Pro models and redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/figure>\n

according to the data 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

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

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 faster-than-usual rollout is reportedly intended to better support more demanding artificial intelligence workloads.<\/p>\n

Finally, the report notes that ongoing memory and chip shortages could still disrupt Apple\u2019s current product roadmap. But if the company stays on schedule, the new iPad Pro models and redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro would add to what is already rumored to be Apple\u2019s \u201cbiggest product year\u201d ever in 2027.<\/p>\n
