A new step toward touch on the Mac

Apple's macOS Golden Gate is set to support touchscreen use on the MacBook Pro with a redesigned interface. According to the source report, the change aims to make it easier for users to move between mouse and touch controls.

What changes?

Macs have so far offered a keyboard-and-mouse-centric operating system experience. The touch interface in Golden Gate breaks with that tradition by bringing on-screen touch input to the Mac.

  • Easy switching between mouse and touch

What remains unclear

The source does not specify which MacBook Pro models will get a touchscreen, nor a release date or pricing. For now, only the interface direction is confirmed.
