Apple is reportedly planning new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro releases early next year

Apple is reportedly preparing four new iPad Pro models with faster chips and a new entry-level MacBook Pro for release in the first half of next year. Bloomberg says the company is also targeting that window for its first M7 processor, following recent MacBook updates and notable price increases.

The rumored lineup suggests Apple is trying to broaden its premium hardware portfolio while responding to affordability concerns after recent price hikes. A lower-cost Pro laptop could help defend Mac demand as Apple navigates supply chain pressure, leadership transition speculation, and intensifying competition in AI-ready hardware.
