Development on the new tablets focuses on integrating faster chips to maintain the product line's performance edge. Alongside these, the company is refining an entry-level MacBook Pro, internally designated as K104. This specific model aims to bridge the gap between high-end professional hardware and the more experimental, A18-powered devices like the MacBook Neo released earlier this year.

Apple Preps Early 2025 Push for New iPad and MacBook Pro Models
Four upcoming iPad Pro variants and an entry-level MacBook Pro are currently in development, with Apple targeting a release window in the first half of next year. The push includes the debut of the M7 processor, marking a significant hardware refresh as the company navigates ongoing supply chain volatility.
These product cycles coincide with a period of strategic transition for Apple. The organization faces mounting pressure from supply chain constraints that have already driven significant price adjustments, including a $300 jump for the 1TB MacBook Pro, which rose from $1,699 to $1,999. By diversifying its hardware offerings with more accessible pro-tier devices, Apple seeks to stabilize its market position while preparing for long-term leadership changes. Apple declined to provide comment on the specific development timelines.
