Capping a week of Apple rumors about the company's mixed-reality headset plans and its efforts to design its displays and wireless chips in-house, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple might reverse years of design decisions and rhetoric and add touchscreens to a future MacBook Pro refresh.
The report says Apple's hardware engineers are "actively engaged in the project" and that the company is "seriously considering" the move, but "plans could change" before the touchscreen Mac's possible launch in 2025—don't expect them to come with the M2 MacBook Pro refresh we're expecting this year.
If true, this wouldn't be the first time that Apple tested Mac touchscreens internally. In fact, multiple company execs over the last decade-plus have gone on the record to say that Apple has tested touchscreen Macs—usually while explaining why they think touchscreen Macs are a bad and unworkable idea.
