This is according to a new Bloomberg report, Mark Gurman says Apple has engineers “actively involved” in the project and the company is “seriously considering” making touchscreen Macs for the first time. claim.

If it does, Apple will likely launch a traditional laptop device with only a touchscreen that supports iPhone-like gestures.
Other manufacturers such as Lenovo, HP, and Dell all have laptops with touch screens in their lineups. Meanwhile, Apple has marketed his iPad Pro device as a laptop replacement for people who need a touchscreen, with mixed results. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs famously said in 2010 that laptop touchscreens don’t work at all. “We did a lot of user testing on this and found it didn’t work. We don’t want the touch surface to be vertical,” he said.
Another big change coming to Apple’s MacBook is OLED technology. According to a report by Gurman and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to launch his MacBook with an OLED display by the end of 2024.
Finally, according to another new report by Kuo, Apple plans to launch a new generation of AirPods, which could cost $99 less than the original model (analyst Jeff Pu notes that these claims to be called AirPods Lite). Another new audio product from Apple is his AirPods Max, but other details are unknown. These new products could arrive in late 2024 or even 2025.
