IT之家 October 30 news, the tech media outlet 9to5Mac published a blog post yesterday (October 29), reporting that during a media group interview at a special event held in Los Angeles, Apple executives responded that touch optimization for the macOS system “has only just begun.”
The current touch experience is not the final form, and Apple is expected to continue advancing improvements to the interface, gestures, and interaction based on early user feedback and actual usage scenarios.
IT之家, citing the blog post, introduces that Bloomberg reporter Chris Welch believes Apple has adopted a relatively cautious strategy in introducing touch capability, and expects that macOS 28, to be released next year, will bring a series of touch-related improvements.
Judging from early hands-on feedback, outside evaluations of the new touch-enabled MacBook Pro are generally positive. Previously, some users worried that touch functionality would undermine the traditional macOS desktop experience, but commentators including John Gruber have said that this concern has eased somewhat.
