Bloomberg: Apple to launch first touchscreen laptop in 2025
Apple aims to release the first touchscreen laptop by 2025. It is reported by Bloomberg.
According to agency analyst Mark Gurman, the company has begun working on a project for a Mac laptop with a touch screen. The corporation expects that the device – MacBook Pro – will appear in 2025.
Gurman noted that the new device will not be radically different from the MacBook Pro existing on the market. The laptop will have a body consisting of two halves, a display, a keyboard and a touchpad. However, the screen will receive a touch layer.
The material says that before the release of the first computer with a touch screen, Apple will have to adapt the operating system. Currently, macOS is only optimized for mouse and cursor. Gurman suggested that the desktop operating system may have larger interface elements.
Mark Gurman recalled that earlier Apple noted that they did not see the need to create a computer with a touch screen. So, in 2018, Craig Federighi, senior vice president of the company, emphasized that it would be inconvenient to use such a device. Bloomberg reached out to Apple for comment but received no prompt response.
In November 2021, Apple Vice President John Turnus explained why the company’s laptop lineup lacks touchscreen models. According to Ternus, such devices replace the iPad tablet: “It is completely optimized for this.”
