Credit: AppleApple is reportedly preparing to add touch panels to MacBook models for the first time. The OLED MacBook Pro, which should be ready for mass production by late 2026, will have an on-cell touch screen, says renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. That said, Apple's hotly anticipated affordable MacBook model powered by an iPhone processor will not feature a touch screen, Kuo reports. And Apple isn't expected to release any new MacBook Pro models in 2025—the first year to skip a new Pro since the model was introduced. Personally, however, I don't see a laptop with a touch screen having much of an advantage, unless someone wants fingerprints all over their display.
