New iPad Pro tipped to launch in 2027 – but it’s shrouded in price hikes and chip confusion

Apple will reportedly update its iPad Pro line in early 2027
The main change is likely to be a new chipset, but it is uncertain whether the M6 or M7 will be used
It is also very likely that these will be extremely expensive tablets

It will soon be a year since the last iPad Pro models launched, but if you were hoping for successors this year, you’re probably out of luck, as a new report suggests we won’t see new models until 2027.

According to reputable Apple tipster Mark Gurman, writing for Bloomberg (via MacRumors), the company will launch new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models in the ‘spring’ of 2027 – presumably sometime between March and May.

Apparently their design won’t be changed much, but the internals will be updated with a new chipset and potentially a vapor chamber to keep them cool.

The biggest concern about the next iPad Pro, however, is how much it might cost. The ongoing RAM crisis recently caused Apple to raise the prices of many of its devices, including iPads, and since the 9-month-old iPad Pro 2025 has increased in price, there is no doubt that 2027’s iPad Pro models will also launch at a very high price.

However, exactly how high is uncertain. For reference, the iPad Pro 2025 range now starts at $1,199 / £1,199 / AU$1,999, so the iPad Pro 2027 will almost certainly cost at least that much. But if RAM prices keep rising, then it’s possible it could cost even more — especially with inflation and a new chipset.

So you might want to save – or just stick with your old tablet for a while longer, especially if you’ve upgraded in the last few years.
