Apple macOS Introduces Touch Gestures in Safari, Hinting at Touchscreen MacBook
Apple's latest macOS 27.2 Beta introduces new touch gestures within the Safari browser. These changes suggest a potential future for touchscreen MacBooks.
Apple has introduced significant touch functionality in its macOS 27.2 Beta updates, sparking speculation about upcoming touchscreen MacBook models.
In the latest beta versions, users can now drag tabs within the Safari browser using touch gestures and access a context menu with a long press. While the "Ask Siri" option is reportedly missing from this menu, these interface changes suggest Apple is preparing its software for touch-enabled MacBooks.
Previous leaks and reports have indicated that Apple is developing a premium MacBook featuring an OLED touchscreen. These devices, rumored to be dubbed "MacBook Ultra," are expected to be thinner and lighter than current MacBook Pro models.
For years, Apple has maintained a stance against touchscreen laptops, a departure from many competitors. This potential shift could mark a significant change in the company's product strategy, possibly blurring the lines between its Mac and iPad lines.
