TL; DR
  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models for Spring 2027.
  • The upcoming models are expected to retain the current 11-inch and 13-inch display sizes.
  • Apple is reportedly testing vapor chamber cooling and could use M7 chips in the new lineup.

Apple is reportedly working on a refreshed iPad Pro lineup for Spring 2027. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is currently testing four new iPad Pro models that are expected to arrive during the first half of next year.

The new models are not expected to bring a major redesign. Instead, Apple appears to be focusing on internal upgrades while keeping the existing design introduced with the current generation.

Gurman says Apple will continue offering the iPad Pro in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes. Both Wi-Fi and cellular variants are expected to remain available.

The major upgrade is likely to come from the chipset. The upcoming iPad Pro models are expected to use Apple’s M7 chips, which should deliver improvements in CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine performance. Apple is also expected to continue expanding on-device AI capabilities across its products, and the M7 series will likely power many of those features.

Apple is also reportedly testing vapor chamber cooling for future iPad designs. If Apple brings this technology to the iPad Pro, it could allow the tablets to maintain higher performance for longer during demanding workloads such as video editing, gaming, and 3D rendering.

According to Gurman, Apple is currently targeting a Spring 2027 launch window for the new iPad Pro lineup. More details about the upcoming models are expected to surface in the coming months as development continues.
