Apple had long termed touchscreen computers as less ergonomically sound
(Web Desk) - According to individuals familiar with the project Apple is actively working on integrating touch displays into its Mac computers.
As part of an upgrade to Apple s MacBook Pro the first touch-screen Mac might be released as early as 2025.
Teams within Apple have been working on the project and the initial iteration will reportedly have a touchscreen, trackpad and keyboard.
If implemented the change would represent a dramatic U-turn for Apple which has long said that touchscreen computers were less ergonomically sound, despite the fact that Windows laptops from rival manufacturers now come standard with touchscreens.
However, Apple s Mac division doesn t require a boost. When Apple switched from using Intel CPUs in the majority of its machines to its own silicon, Mac sales increased. The modification decreased overheating and increased battery life. In fiscal year 2022, Apple s Mac division brought in $40.1 billion which was an increase of 14 percent over the previous fiscal year.
