As per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is working on developing touchscreen Macs including the Mac pro.
As per the reports engineers at Apple are working on developing touchscreen Macs breaking Apple’s old orthodox. According to the reports by MacRumours, a new MacBook Pro with an OLED display could be the first touchscreen Mac in 2025.
The first MacBook Pro with a touchscreen would retain a traditional laptop design with a trackpad and a keyboard, but the display would gain support for touch input like an iPhone or iPad. The first touchscreen Macs are likely to use macOS, as Apple is not actively working to combine iPadOS and macOS, according to the report. iPhone and iPad apps are available on Macs with Apple silicon chips, though, unless a developer opts out.
As per the reports Apple engineers are actively engaged in the project, indicating that the company is seriously considering producing touch-screen Macs for the first time. But the launch still hasn’t been finalised.
One of the main concerns of Apple behind opposing the idea of having touchscreen laptops is the fact that introducing touchscreen Macs might hamper the sales of iPad. But the introduction of touchscreen in the laptops by the rivals was continuously putting pressure on Apple to do the same.
