Entry-level MacBook Pro to get a fresh redesign with M7 in 2027

Bloomberg reports Apple will bring a redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro with an M7 in early 2027, about six months after a high-end redesign; the plan also outlines a fall 2026 entry-level with the old M6/design and a fall 2027 high-end refresh with M7 Pro/Max, with features such as a thinner chassis, OLED touchscreen, and possibly Dynamic Island, while pricing suggests the redesigned entry-level will remain cheaper than the top models.

Apple Preps a 2027 Bonanza: New iPad Pro lineup and Foldable on the Way

Apple is reportedly planning a wide product push for its 20th iPhone anniversary in 2027, including four new iPad Pro models (11-inch and 13-inch) with faster chips—potentially the M7—and a vapor‑chamber cooling system, plus a redesigned entry‑level MacBook Pro. Separately, Bloomberg notes Apple is ramping up development of its first foldable phone, expected to launch later this year, with Nikkei Asia citing strong demand and an initial production target around 10 million units before a larger rollout.

Apple pivots to AI-first M7 chips, skipping M6 Pro/Max

According to Mark Gurman, Apple will skip Pro and Max variants in the M6 line to accelerate the AI-focused M7, with the base M6 shipping in iPads and entry Macs while the M7 arrives in early 2027 and its Pro/Max by late 2027 and Ultra in 2028. The M6 will gain memory bandwidth, a faster CPU, a 12-core GPU option, upgraded video encoding/decoding, and an enhanced Neural Engine for AI tasks, while the M5 Ultra remains possible but postponed.

Apple Skips M6 Pro/Max, Betting Big on M7 for Future Silicon

Bloomberg reports Apple will cancel the M6 Pro and M6 Max and move directly to the M7 family. The base M6 will be tested in the MacBook Pro with CPU/NPU improvements and about 200 GB/s memory bandwidth; the M6 Pro/Max variants won’t launch, and Pro/Max versions will appear with the M7 in 2027, followed by an M7 Ultra for Mac Studio in 2028. A high-end M5 Ultra for Mac Studio is also mentioned as a test configuration.

Apple bets AI-first M7, skipping M6 Pro/Max until 2027–28

Bloomberg reports Apple will skip M6 Pro/Max and fast‑track an AI‑focused M7 lineup: a base M6 could ship as early as this year, the M7 base in the first half of 2027, and M7 Pro/Max by late 2027, with the M7 Ultra expected in 2028. The M5 Ultra may be the only near‑term upgrade for high‑end Macs, potentially delaying top‑tier silicon until 2027–28.

Apple Reboots Silicon Roadmap: Entry M6 This Year, M7 Pro/Max in 2027

Bloomberg says Apple is accelerating its AI-focused silicon plan: an entry-level M6 is expected this year, but there will be no M6 Pro/Max; the high-end Macs will switch to the M7 family with M7 Pro/Max/Ultra arriving in 2027 (and an M5 Ultra rumored for 2026 Mac Studio). The lineup aims for higher memory bandwidth and an updated Neural Engine as part of a broader Apple silicon refresh that follows recent price increases across Macs and iPads.

Apple abandons M6 Pro/Max to push M7 AI chips, delaying the MacBook Ultra

Bloomberg reports Apple canceled the M6 Pro and M6 Max to focus on the M7 lineup, leaving the MacBook Ultra’s debut uncertain and potentially delayed to 2027 or later. The M7 Pro/Max are expected in the second half of 2027, with an M7 Ultra for Mac Studio not planned until 2028, as Apple aims to deliver stronger AI performance, while the standard M6 is still slated for late 2026 in cheaper models.
