A MacBook Pro touchscreen? About damn time

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 00:00:00

It's somewhat ironic that Apple, the company that popularized the use of capacitive touchscreens with the iPhone and iPad, has been staunchly opposed to bringing our fingers anywhere near MacBook screens. Meanwhile, Microsoft and PC makers jumped at the opportunity to build touchscreen laptops years ago. The tablet-focused Windows 8 was a failure, sure, but touchscreens led to excellent convertible notebooks and hybrid tablets like the Surface lineup. Now, according to a new rumor from longtime

After years of touchscreen Mac rumors, here’s why I believe the latest one

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-20 05:35:56

Ming-Ching Kuo today suggested that we can expect a touchscreen MacBook Pro to go into production in late 2026. This is the latest in a years-long string of rumors that Apple is working on such a device. The company has been testing prototypes since at least 2008, but has consistently dismissed the idea of launching one. However, I do tend to believe the latest report … Apple’s rejection of touchscreen Macs Apple has consistently rejected the idea of a touchscreen Mac over a great many years.

Kuo: Apple to launch touch screen Macs, starting with OLED MacBook Pro

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-09-20 12:54:57

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today reported that Apple’s plans for touch screen Macs are advancing in the supply chain. He expects that the OLED MacBook Pro, due to go into production in late 2026, will also feature a touch screen panel. This schedule was first predicted by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman two years ago. It is currently unclear whether the OLED MacBook Pro will ship in 2026, or whether it will be an early 2027 release. Apple currently sells the M4 MacBook Pro lineup. Compared to where we

At least it did for me when I heard that the AI company Anthropic agreed to an at least $1.5 billion settlement for authors and publishers whose books were used to train an early version of its large language model, Claude.
