Here’s how the new MacBook Pro and macOS 27 are optimized for touch
Apple just unveiled the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR , its first MacBook with a touch display. While Apple already added a handful of touch optimizations to macOS 27 Golden Gate earlier this year, there’s also a number of new optimizations that were unveiled alongside the new MacBook Pro.
What the coverage shows
All five outlets center on Apple’s new MacBook Pro and its touchscreen debut, with CNBC and the New York Times explicitly framing it as a reversal of Apple’s long-held stance. Tom’s Hardware is the only one in the set to foreground pricing and hardware tweaks, while Ars Technica focuses on hands-on impressions and says it is not as different as expected. 9to5Mac mostly expands the event into follow-up coverage, including promo video, comparisons, developer materials, and commentary.
