Spring has become Apple’s favorite season for refreshing entry-level and budget-friendly products. Occasionally, the season also brings a surprise flagship reveal. According to a recent report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing a wave of new hardware for the first half of 2027, most likely arriving at a spring event. Among the highlights, the base 14-inch MacBook Pro will get a major visual redesign. Even more notable, Apple may finally launch its long-rumored touchscreen MacBook.
14-Inch MacBook Pro Redesign Pairs With a Possible Touch Debut
Sources familiar with the matter say Apple plans a full design overhaul for the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro. Apple aims for the first half of 2027. The refreshed laptop will match the design language of the higher-end MacBook Pro models arriving this autumn.
Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly testing its first touchscreen MacBook, a feature many expected to arrive with the M6 chip generation. However, recent signs suggest Apple may skip that timeline. Instead, the company could pair the M7 chip with touch support for the first time in spring 2027.
New iPad Pro Models Chase More Power While Keeping Familiar Sizes
Beyond laptops, Apple is also testing four new iPad Pro models. Specific details about this next-generation flagship tablet stay under wraps for now. Still, sources say the core upgrade centers on a major leap in performance and computing power.
As for design, the new models will keep the current 11-inch and 13-inch sizes. Through more advanced chip architecture and display technology, Apple aims to strengthen its lead in mobile productivity.
A Crowded 2027 Spring Lineup: Base iPhone 18 and iPhone Air Successor Ready to Launch
This spring, Apple released several new products within a single week. The lineup included the MacBook Neo, the new iPhone 17e, the new iPad Air, and the high-end MacBook Pro. That flurry of launches showed just how busy Apple’s release calendar can get.
Based on current supply chain reports, the spring 2027 hardware lineup may turn out even busier. On the phone side, the market widely expects Apple to unveil the base iPhone 18. A highly anticipated iPhone Air successor should arrive alongside it.
Add in the MacBook Pro redesign, the touchscreen Mac, and four new iPad Pro models. Factor in a possible iPhone 18e refresh as well. Altogether, Apple’s first half of 2027 could bring its busiest product reshuffle in years.
