Quick Summary

Apple plans to unveil its first touchscreen MacBooks in Los Angeles on Wednesday as part of a series of product launches leading up to the holiday shopping season. This move comes after recent releases of a folding iPhone and a smart home hub earlier this month. The decision marks a shift from Apple’s previous stance against touchscreens in laptops, which was criticized by some analysts but seen as inevitable by others due to market expectations for touchscreen functionality on newer devices.

Story summary

Apple unveiled its first-ever touchscreen MacBook Pro on October 28 in Los Angeles, introducing a new OLED display and thinner, lighter design.

Available in both 14-inch and 16-inch models, the devices feature a dynamic interface optimized for touch control and are powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. However, the top-tier configurations can cost up to an astronomical $14,549, with significant price increases for storage upgrades alone reaching over $7,000 for 2TB to 16TB options.
