While years ago the idea was that Apple sometimes introduce MacBook with touch control is pure sci-fi, now it seems that we are really close to its arrival. The Californian giant is supposed to be finishing preparations for the presentation of the first model that will offer touch control. It is supposed to arrive specifically on the new MacBook Pro and as the latest macOS 27.2 beta suggests, its unveiling is literally just around the corner. macOS 27.2 features new elements specifically designed for touch gestures, which Apple added to several of its system applications. And given that according to current information, it is testing with macOS 27.2 for the new MacBook Pro with touch controls, the timing is interesting to say the least.

Just Sidecar is, however, the reason why new discoveries cannot yet be described as 100% confirmation that the touch screen MacBook He is definitely knocking on the door. Apple because theoretically some of these features could be prepared precisely for better control of the Mac via the iPad. However, in combination with previous leaks, in my opinion miniIt's almost strange how much macOS is starting to prepare for finger control. After all, Sidecar It's a great feature, but I don't think it's essential enough to use it. Apple devoted so much energy to development.
