It said Apple is considering releasing only the base M6 while shifting pro-grade models to M7. The report said M6 Pro and M6 Max may not be in development, and M7 is expected to focus on major advances in on-device AI processing.

Apple tests 2027 iPad Pro models, seeks earlier rollout of M7 chip

Apple is testing four new iPad Pro models aimed at a spring 2027 launch, keeping 11-inch and 13-inch screen sizes, a report said. It is also preparing a redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro and has considered launching it as early as this year, though timing could slip to the first half of next year. Apple is also said to be seeking an earlier debut of the M7 processor in the first half of 2027, with supply constraints a potential risk to schedules.
