Apple is said to be planning the launch of multiple new iPad Pros and a new MacBook Pro in the early part of next year.
According to Bloomberg, the company is currently developing four new tablet models featuring upgraded chips. Additionally, a new “entry-level” MacBook Pro, referred to internally as K104, is in the works, the report states. The company is also aiming to debut its first M7 processor around the same timeframe.
The last iPad Pro was launched by Apple in October of the previous year. In March, the company introduced a new premium MacBook Pro and the budget-friendly MacBook Neo, which utilizes the A18 chip originally made for the iPhone. This upcoming MacBook is expected to be a true Pro model.
These apparent product plans arise amid rumors of further releases (potentially including a foldable phone) as the company prepares for its era following Tim Cook’s tenure as CEO, while concurrently addressing supply chain challenges that Cook has indicated have necessitated price increases. Some of these hikes have been significant; for example, the MacBook Pro with 1 terabyte of storage recently rose from $1,699 to $1,999. Therefore, if the company is developing more affordable laptops and tablets, it would be an opportune time to launch them.
