Q:

When can we expect touch screen MacBooks?

At what point will Apple stop recycling the same design with small cosmetic tweaks and actually give users what we’ve been asking for, like touchscreen MacBooks?

Are we seriously expected to applaud UI shadows and corner radius tweaks in 2025 like it’s innovation? When will the MacBook evolve beyond just new wallpapers and drop shadows?

As of now, Apple hasn’t confirmed a timeline for touch-screen MacBooks, and it’s unlikely to happen soon. Apple has long maintained that macOS and iPadOS serve different purposes—preferring touch on iPads and precision input on Macs.

Internally, Apple is rumored to be testing touch-screen Mac prototypes, and some analysts suggest a possible launch around 2026, but nothing is official. The design evolution of MacBooks has been conservative because Apple prioritizes consistency, battery efficiency, and ecosystem stability.

While UI updates like shadows and rounded corners may feel superficial, they’re part of Apple’s broader push for visual harmony across platforms. That said, real innovation—like custom silicon—has been happening under the hood; it’s just not always flashy.
