Sounds unreal, but MacBook Pro is all set to get a touchscreen! However, this is what is going to happen. Apple is said to be working on adding a touchscreen to Macs. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a new MacBook Pro with an OLED display could be the first touchscreen Mac in the year 2025. According to the report, Apple is actively engaged in the project and the company is seriously considering making touchscreen MacBooks.

Apple is expected to retain the traditional laptop design with its first touchscreen MacBook Pro. The laptop will have a trackpad and a keyboard but the display would get support for touch input. According to the report, the first touchscreen Macs are likely to use macOS, as Apple is not actively working to combine iPadOS and macOS.

Notably, Apple has been repeatedly denying the idea of a touchscreen Mac over the years. Hence, a touchscreen Mac is considered to be a big move by Apple. According to a report by MacRumors, "In 2010, for example, Steve Jobs said that "touch surfaces don't want to be vertical" due to arm fatigue associated with holding up a finger to the screen. And in 2021, Apple's hardware engineering chief John Ternus said the Mac was "totally optimized for indirect input" and said the company did not feel there was a good reason to change that at the time."

Meanwhile, it can be known that Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 15 series in the month of September 2023. The series is said to bring several new features and exciting features for the users. The pro models of the iPhone 15 series are even said to opt for the solid state buttons.

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will lose the buttons for power and volume control and instead, Apple will settle for capacitive buttons that will get their own Taptic feedback engine. “My latest survey indicates that high-end iPhone 15 models will feature solid-state buttons and will be equipped with additional Taptic Engines to simulate the feel of physical buttons' force feedback,” says Kuo in his latest post.

“As the exclusive supplier of Taptic Engine's controller IC for solid-state buttons, Cirrus Logic stands to benefit markedly from this new design. If users respond well to this new design, I think it may be adopted in other high-end models of product lines in the future,” he added.
