Apple to Launch New iPad Pro in Spring 2027

Apple is planning to release new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models in spring 2027, reports Bloomberg. No major design changes are expected, with Apple focusing on internal upgrades.

The ‌iPad Pro‌ models could use either M6 chips or M7 chips. Apple will introduce the M6 chip as soon as this year in an updated 14-inch MacBook Pro model, but it is aiming to release the M7 chip in the first half of 2027.

Bloomberg does not specify which chip Apple will put in the ‌iPad Pro‌, but if the M7 chip is ready by spring 2027, the 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 has also tested a vapor chamber cooling system that could improve performance.

Little else is known about the new ‌iPad Pro‌ models, but if they come out in spring 2027, Apple could introduce them alongside the iPhone 18e, iPhone 18, and iPhone Air 2, devices that are also slated for spring 2027.

Without Gurman how would we know that iPad Pros are typically refreshed on 18 month cycles?

Adobe still refuses to give its iPadOS software feature parity with desktop, so my M4 iPad Pro goes massively underutilized. I don't understand why you even need a spec bump at this point.

I just purchased iPad Pro M5 at the old price and on sale at Best Buy on the day Apple decided to raise prices. Who’s gonna pay the 2 to $400 markup in the spring......

I picked a 512GB 5G M4 iPP in Feb for £900. After the price rises, I think I got a bit of a steal. Reckon I can use it for a good 5 years at least.
