Apple introduced its first touchscreen laptops, the MacBook Pro with ProLED XDR Display, in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes at a Los Angeles event. The machines still run MacOS rather than iPadOS, and touch input is optional—users can rely entirely on the trackpad and keyboard as before. Apple says software automatically converts touch taps into clicks, and some interface elements, like window buttons, enlarge slightly when touched.
