Apple plans to launch new 11- and 13-inch iPad Pro models in spring 2027, reports Bloomberg. No major design changes are expected, with Apple focusing on internal upgrades.
iPad Pro models may use M6 or M7 chips. Apple will introduce the M6 chip as early as this year in an updated 14-inch MacBook Pro model, but the goal is to release the M7 chip in the first half of 2027.
Bloomberg doesn’t specify which chip Apple will put in the iPad Pro, but if the M7 chip is ready by spring 2027, new iPads could have the upgraded chip. If it’s not ready, they’ll use the M6. Both chips will be built on Apple’s new 2-nanometer process, but the M7 has AI optimizations that the M6 doesn’t have.
Apple also tested a vapor chamber cooling system that could improve performance.
Little is known about the new iPad Pro models, but if they are released in spring 2027, Apple could introduce them alongside the iPhone 18e, iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2, devices also planned for spring 2027.
