The first M7 Mac is anticipated to be a redesigned 14-inch MacBook Pro early in 2027, followed by Pro/Max updates to higher-end models."

Stretch Your MacBook Pro Battery Life With Simple Tweaks

Practical steps to extend MacBook Pro battery life: monitor energy use to spot demanding apps (Chrome often drains power due to tab processes), consider Safari for better efficiency (Edge is a middle-ground option), keep macOS updated for bug fixes and improvements, enable Low Power Mode, and adjust hardware settings (lower brightness, disable ProMotion by using 60Hz, and let the display sleep on battery). Also ensure the device sits on a stable surface for cooling and manage keyboard backlight as needed for longer sessions.
