Steve Jobs Said This Kind of Device Would Be ‘Terrible.’ 16 Years Later, Apple Seems Set to Release It
The redesign would make the laptop significantly lighter and add touch support, OLED displays and M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, Bloomberg reported.
- Apple plans a late-October event for its first touchscreen MacBook, according to Bloomberg. The launch is scheduled for "on or around" Tuesday, October 27.
- For over a decade, Apple executives have rejected touchscreen laptops, citing ergonomic concerns. Current CEO John Ternus previously argued that lifting arms to poke a screen is "ergonomically terrible" and "fatiguing."
- The potential MacBook Ultra will come in 14 and 16-inch sizes with OLED displays and Dynamic Island technology. Devices target "creative professionals who work in video production, photo editing and music production," Bloomberg reported.
- This marks Apple's second product launch this month, following an October 13 smart home showcase. New CEO John Ternus, who replaced Tim Cook in September, appears to be accelerating Apple's hardware release schedule.
- Beyond October's launches, Apple plans additional Mac and iPad releases for the first half of next year. The company aims to refresh its existing lineup, including updates to the iMac and iPad Mini.
