MacBook Pro overhaul: entry-level model to gain new design sooner than expected

According to Bloomberg, Apple is preparing a redesigned entry-level MacBook Pro (codenamed K104) with an M7 chip for as early as the first half of 2027 — only about six months after the high-end models. A base M6 model in the old chassis is expected in fall 2026, while high-end MacBook Pros will debut with M5 Pro/Max chips and the new design.
