Apple reportedly working on new touchscreen Mac, Multi-Touch MacBook Pro rumored to launch in 2025
Apple is reportedly developing new touchscreen technology for the Mac, with Bloomberg reporting on Wednesday that the iPhone maker could launch its first Multi-Touch MacBook Pro in 2025, with engineers said to be “actively engaged in the project.”
Citing people familiar with the plans, Apple is working on adding touch screens to the Mac, something that late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs once said would be “ergonomically terrible,” with the report noting that whilst a launch hasn’t been finalized and plans could change, “the company is seriously considering producing touch-screen Macs for the first time.”
As part of the development of the new touchscreen technology for the Mac, Bloomberg reports that Apple is developing a new Multi-Touch MacBook Pro which could launch as soon as 2025 should the company decide to continue with the project and make touchscreen capabilities reality.
The report by Mark Gurman claims that the prototype touchscreen MacBook Pro continues to feature a “traditional laptop design,” with the machine adding “support touch input and gestures – just like an iPhone and iPad.”
