Entry-level MacBook Pro redesign expected in spring 2027

Apple is reportedly planning a redesigned 14-inch entry-level MacBook Pro for the first half of 2027, with an M7 chip.

The new design is expected to reach higher-end MacBook Pro models first, around six months earlier.

That would be faster than past redesigns, which took years to reach entry-level models.

A separate entry-level model with the current design and an M6 chip is expected in fall 2026.

The higher-end models due around then are expected to have a new design but M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.

The 2027 redesign is expected to include a thinner body and an OLED touchscreen.

The timing gives buyers seeking the new design and an M7 option below the high-end models another choice, though pricing has not been confirmed.
