Apple might finally make a touchscreen Mac

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports a 2025 shift to OLED for the MacBook Pro could add the touchscreens Apple has so far resisted.

Apple is working on Macs with touchscreens, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. While it’s uncertain whether the devices will actually come to market, Gurman says in a tweet that we could see a touchscreen MacBook Pro as early as 2025. The report also notes that the screens may use OLED technology, as opposed to the Mini LED displays that are currently in the 14- and 16-inch models.

The project seems to be in relatively early stages, with engineers being “actively engaged,” according to the report. Gurman says that there are no final plans for launching touchscreen Macs and that plans could always change — we’ve seen Apple scrap projects before, and the company has made prototype Macs with touchscreens that never saw the light of day, according to Craig Federighi.

I’m unaware of any reports that people’s arms have fallen off from heavy touchscreen use but have found laptops with them to be convenient in many situations.

With that said, I do think macOS will probably need a heavy refresh if it’s going to be used with a touchscreen; I can’t imagine trying to hit the current traffic light window controls or navigate the menu bar with my finger.

Will there be a touchscreen Mac? Here's what you need to know
By Shaun - January 14, 2023

Rumors are true. There will be a touchscreen Mac. It’s said that it will probably be released at the end of 2024, or at the beginning of 2025. Apple has done many tests on a touchscreen Mac, all of them in vain until now. They will create Macs with OLED displays, the same display used in Apple Watch and iPhone.

Apple has been working on a touchscreen Mac for several years, which hasn’t been easy at all. It proves their claims that they work only on sophisticated solutions. While they were working on one of the prototypes, everything was fine in theory, but it was something else in practice. Why is that so?
This struggle with a touchscreen is justified. Other companies have tried to develop that touchscreen device.

The rumors say that a touchscreen Mac will have an OLED display, not a mini-LED display, as was thought before. This OLED display perfectly functions on Apple Smartwatches and iOS, and it should be usable on Macs. The main reason for that is that it’s cheaper and can be used on larger screens without any disruptions.

In theory, there is no problem with a touchscreen MAC, but the user experience is dissatisfying. Why do we need a device that’s not practical? Devices are here to help us in some tasks, not to frustrate us. All that can be done now is to wait and see how Apple will use OLED displays in Macs.

I honestly don't see why I would need a touchscreen on a laptop. I see that more and more laptops are now getting this, I don't like this trend, especially if it will cost me more.
