Mark Gullman, editor of Bloomberg News, who focused on releasing various insider information about Apple, disclosed that Apple is actively developing MacBook with touch screen, and the company's goal is to launch MacBook Pro with touch screen in 2025.
MacBook Pro with touch screen is no different from the ordinary version in appearance. It also comes with a standard touch pad and keyboard. The difference is that the touch screen supports touch and gesture operations just like on the iPad.
Recently, Tom Borg, Apple's vice president of marketing in charge of iPad and Mac products, also talked about the touch screen MacBook in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. He said that Mac and iPad are complementary rather than mutually exclusive,The iPad has priority as a touch device, while the Mac is used for indirect operation, that is, through the keyboard, mouse and/or touch pad.
Even though Joanna Stern, a reporter of the Wall Street Journal, wanted to get a definite answer many times, Thomberg still said:
The iPad is a touch screen,Mac is not.MacOS is a very different computing paradigm. Many users have both iPads and Macs, and believe that the iPad is a way to extend the work of the Mac. With the continuity function, users can easily work across devices.
Is it true that there will be no touch screen Mac devices?Will Apple change its view of the touch-screen Mac?Tomberg:Oh, I can't say we'll never change our mind.
Considering the high credibility of the information disclosed by Mark Gullman in the past, it is hard to say that Apple really has no plan to develop the touch screen MacBook Pro, but now it may be that Apple still refuses to disclose the information for the purpose of confidentiality, or that Apple is developing but the specific release plan may change with the development progress.
