Apple is reportedly developing a redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro that could debut as early as the first half of 2027, according to Bloomberg. The updated 14-inch laptop is expected to feature a look that aligns with the touch screen MacBook models Apple has been working on. Those touch-enabled laptops are slated for release between late this year and early next year, and earlier reports indicated they would include a Dynamic Island and a revamped interface.

In the nearer term, Apple is also testing four new iPad Pro models scheduled for a spring launch. These updates are said to focus primarily on internal improvements rather than major external changes. The refreshed MacBook Pro, while keeping the same screen size, will adopt a design language that echoes the upcoming touch screen lineup, signaling a broader shift in Apple’s laptop strategy.
