Apple Readies iPad Pro, New MacBook Pro for 2027

Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models for spring 2027 and a redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro for the first half of that year. That’s the claim from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the most reliable Apple leaker in the business, so it carries weight — but nothing here is official, and Apple hasn’t said a word. The two products are reportedly part of a larger wave of hardware tied to the iPhone’s 20th anniversary year.

As reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, people with knowledge of the matter say the four new iPad Pro models will keep the current 11-inch and 13-inch display sizes. Beyond that, detail is thin — which is normal this far out from a launch that’s still the better part of a year away. If you’ve been eyeing the current iPad Pro, this is the first sign of what replaces it.

What Gurman reported

The report says Apple is internally testing four new iPad Pro models slated for spring 2027, retaining both the 11-inch and 13-inch screen sizes. A redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro is also said to be in development for the same general window — the first half of 2027.

The sources asked not to be identified because they’re discussing unannounced products. In plain terms: this is a rumour from anonymous insiders, filtered through a reporter with an unusually good record on Apple’s roadmap. Treat it as a credible early signal, not a spec sheet.

What Gurman did not report is almost everything a buyer wants to know: chips, prices, storage tiers, connectivity, or what “redesigned” means for the MacBook Pro. There’s no month attached to “spring 2027” either, so anyone promising you a date is guessing.

Why four iPad Pro models

Four models sounds like a lot, but it likely maps to the two screen sizes Apple already sells across different configurations. Apple’s current iPad Pro line spans 11-inch and 13-inch sizes with Wi-Fi and cellular options, so “four models” may simply reflect that existing split instead of four distinct new tablets.

The source doesn’t spell out whether the four represent new connectivity options, storage tiers, or a Wi-Fi versus cellular split — so we’re not going to pretend it does. The one concrete detail is the screen sizes staying put at 11 and 13 inches.

The redesigned entry MacBook Pro

Gurman describes a “redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro” for the first half of 2027, and that’s genuinely the extent of the detail. No word on what changes, no chip, no price, no clarity on whether “entry-level” means the 14-inch base model or something new below it.

The word doing the heavy lifting here is “redesigned.” Apple’s MacBook Pro has held roughly the same shape for years, so a redesign — if it holds up — would be the most interesting part of this whole report. But until Apple shows something, it’s a single adjective from an anonymous source, and worth exactly that.

How this fits Apple’s 2027 plans

Both products are framed as part of a broader slate of major hardware Apple has lined up for the iPhone’s 20th anniversary year. That’s the same roadmap that’s produced rumours of a foldable iPhone and other new devices in this cycle.

It’s a sensible read: Apple tends to bunch its big hardware moves, and a milestone anniversary is exactly when the company likes to make noise. A refreshed iPad Pro and a reworked MacBook Pro would slot neatly into that lineup without needing to be the headliners.
