Will Apple Make the 2025 MacBook Pro Touchscreen?
Apple might be finally heading the right way
MacBooks have been MacBooks since they were first introduced in 2006. Despite several design and hardware improvements, the MacBooks have technically remained the same — with the same usability and form factor. But on the contemporary, the laptop industry has majorly evolved in these seventeen years.
On one hand, where the MacBooks still rely on the mechanical keyboard and trackpad to function, Windows notebooks, on the other hand, have adapted to an alternative touch-based approach.
Take Microsoft Surface as an example. It was the first device to blur the line between a tablet and a laptop. Its detachable body and touchscreen panel made it every professional illustrator’s first choice.
In 2010, during a public keynote, Apple officially touched on this matter for the first time. Pun intended. Apple’s former CEO, Steve Jobs, the first, addressed the possibility of a touchscreen MacBook. But eventually, he ended up disappointing the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home when he said that the touchscreen doesn’t belong on a MacBook, as the technology is full of flaws.
