From PC Mag: We have been hearing about Apple’s plans to launch a touch-screen Mac for quite a few years, and this week, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman provided fresh details on how the rumored device is shaping up.
According to Gurman, Apple will revamp the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with touch capabilities later this year. To support this change, the company will replace the mini-LED panels on the current models with OLED displays. The new displays are expected to support fast scrolling and pinch-to-zoom.
Additionally, Gurman says Apple may make some software tweaks to improve touch support. When users tap an item, for example, the modified macOS interface “will bring up a new type of menu surrounding their finger that provides more relevant options for touch commands,” he says, adding that options under a menu may also get enlarged for easier selection.
Apple isn’t planning to pitch the upcoming Mac as a true iPad replacement, though. “The idea is to let customers use the touch input as much or as little as they’d like, and blend it with the familiar point-and-click approach,” Gurman adds.
