Apple is reportedly planning a redesign of its entry-level MacBook Pro, which could launch in the first half of 2027, according to a report from Bloomberg on July 1, 2026. This update follows the company's recent enhancements to the iPad Pro lineup, which are set for a spring release.
Upcoming MacBook Pro Features
The redesigned MacBook Pro will maintain the 14-inch screen size and feature a design aligned with Apple's future touch screen laptops. Bloomberg indicates that these touch screen laptops are expected to debut between the end of this year and early next year, featuring a Dynamic Island-like pill at the top of the display.
Recent updates to the base model MacBook Pro occurred in October with an M5 chip upgrade. Apple is also developing an M6 processor, with plans to quickly transition to the M7 line in 2027, which will include new Pro and Max chips.
iPad Pro Updates on the Horizon
In addition to the MacBook Pro redesign, Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models that will retain 11-inch and 13-inch screen sizes. The last update for the iPad Pro line was in October, which included the M5 chip. The upcoming models are focused on internal improvements rather than significant design changes.
Recent MacBook Pro Developments
Apple has been actively refining its laptop offerings. The last update to the base MacBook Pro design occurred in October 2026. According to Bloomberg, the company has already completed work on a different upgrade for the base model that retains the current design and is scheduled for launch this year.
