The touch screen comes to the M6 ​​MacBook Pro

Ming-Chi Kuo reported this weekend that the Apple M6 MacBook Pro will be the first MAC model to support the touch screen. Writes:

The OLED MacBook Pro, which is expected to enter mass production by the end of 2026, will include a touch panel using the on-cell touch technology.

This OLED model is expected to include a M6 chip, the main hardware lifts and possibly a 5G connection.

This change was perfect whisper, including evidence that this would happen in the M6 ​​MacBook Pro redesign. But now with a toy confirmation it seems that the whole goal.

In my opinion, the touch of admission to Mac has been delayed for a long time. Although I do not think that the core of the basic function for the average Mac user will be required, if Apple wants to switch more iPhone owners to Mac from PC or Chromebook, touch should be Avaible for them. Otherwise, Mac in the past always seems to be stacked against its competition.

IPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 design changes

This week, a few legends arrived on changes in design coming to iPhone 18 and 18 Pro.

Antitacktra of previous news about some iPhone 18 models that receive a cut -out of the stick, Instant Digital says that Apple simply reduces the dynamic cut -out of the island to make it a little more narrower.

As for the back of the device, the digital chat station says Apple is currently testing the iPhone 18 Pro, which includes glass cut -out areas with a little more “transparent design”.

Mine with me

I still keep hope that some models of the iPhone 18-head for the line-by-one include a hole cut rather than a full dynamic island. This means that there is still time for Apple to change its plans and give new messages to give a clearer picture of what comes.

When it comes to changing glass cut -out, I am not personally a fans of the appearance of the iPhone 17 Pro – mainly because of this cutout. Apple Apple also risks with such a bold new design this year. However, if it can find a way to do a glass mixture smoothly and more elegantly with aluminum unibody, that it would be great.
