We’ve had touchscreen laptops for years. Can Apple make them better?
Apple is rumoured to announce a touchscreen MacBook at its upcoming "Pro and Tell" event, a major shift given the company's historical opposition to touchscreen laptops. Steve Jobs dismissed them as ergonomically flawed in 2010, and Tim Cook compared the concept to merging incompatible appliances in 2012. Apple's closest compromise was the MacBook Pro Touch Bar introduced in 2016. The move comes after touchscreen laptops have been standard in the market for years.
Key points
- Apple expected to announce first touchscreen MacBook
- Reversal of long-standing company policy against touchscreens
- Steve Jobs and Tim Cook previously criticized the concept
