Apple to bring new MacBook Pro design to entry-level M7 model in early 2027, Bloomberg says

Bloomberg reports Apple will bring its next MacBook Pro redesign to the entry-level 14-inch model with an M7 chip as early as the first half of 2027, only months after high-end models adopt the new design.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported earlier this year that Apple had a new M7 entry-level MacBook Pro in the pipeline for spring 2027. Bloomberg now says the revamped entry-level machine, code-named K104, could arrive as early as the first half of next year and will adopt the same new design Apple is preparing for higher-end MacBooks with touch screens, due between the end of this year and early next year. The high-end models are rumored to be called MacBook Ultra.

Apple has historically taken years to move a new MacBook Pro design down to its entry-level model. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max arrived in 2021, but the base MacBook Pro kept its 13-inch design until 2023, when it moved to a 14-inch chassis with the M3 chip. After the 2016 MacBook Pro redesign, the entry-level model did not gain the Touch Bar until 2019. The 2012 Retina MacBook Pro redesign followed a similar pattern.

This time, according to Bloomberg, the gap will be shorter. Apple is expected to introduce a redesigned high-end MacBook Pro in the fall of 2026 with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, rather than M6-generation chips, after deciding to abandon plans for high-end M6 chips and accelerate M7. At the same time, the entry-level MacBook Pro is expected to get an M6 chip while keeping the current design. The redesigned entry-level model with M7 would then follow in spring 2027, with a high-end refresh using M7 Pro and M7 Max chips expected in fall 2027.

The new design is expected to include a slightly thinner chassis, OLED displays with touch support and possibly a Dynamic Island. Bloomberg’s report comes amid recent Mac price increases. The publication said a redesigned 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro will likely cost more than $2,500, while buyers who want the redesign with an M7 chip at a lower price may have to wait until the following spring. It also noted that the $1,999 price of today’s entry-level MacBook Pro is what Pro-chip versions cost just under a year ago, a shift attributed to a memory shortage.

Apple has not confirmed the plans. The reported timeline would make the entry-level MacBook Pro a more immediate beneficiary of the company’s next design language than in previous cycles, even as the lineup splits between older and newer chassis and chip generations.
