In a major reversal, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is working on touchscreen Macs and may introduce the computers as soon as 2025.
Engineers at the tech giant are working on the first touchscreen Macs, Bloomberg reported. The company could release a MacBook Pro with touchscreen capabilities as its first offering.
For years, Apple (AAPL) has argued against releasing touchscreen Macs, saying the Mac is not optimized for it, but the iPad is.
"We make the worldâs best touch computer on an iPad. Itâs totally optimized for that. And the Mac is totally optimized for indirect input," John Ternus, Appleâs senior vice president of hardware engineering, said in a 2021 interview with The Wall Street Journal. "We havenât really felt a reason to change that."
The rest of Apple's (AAPL) other devices have touchscreens, notably the iPhone and Apple Watch. Apple (AAPL) may introduce custom built displays on the mobile devices as soon as 2024.
On Wednesday, investment firm Citi noted that fourth-quarter PC data was lower-than-expected, but Apple (AAPL) continued to gain market share, due to continued consumer demand for the Mac.
Cupertino, California-based Apple (AAPL) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
Apple (AAPL) shares closed up more than 2% to finish at $133.49 on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, it was reported Apple (AAPL) could use custom-made Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips inside its devices and reduce the need for another external partner.
