Notably, it is expected that the models launched in the fall of this year will feature "Dynamic Island" similar to the iPhone, with a flexible interface that changes depending on the user's touch position on the screen.
This dynamic interface is designed to make switching between mouse and touch operations smoother. When users touch a button on the screen, macOS on new MacBook Pro models can display context menus with appropriate options for touch operations. Some components such as the menu bar can also be automatically enlarged for easy selection with fingers.
In addition, familiar features on Apple's touch devices such as smooth scrolling, zooming in and out by clenching/leaning hands will appear. However, the machine will not have a virtual keyboard on the screen because it already has an integrated physical keyboard.
Both the 14-inch and 16-inch versions are expected to be equipped with OLED screens for the first time. This may be a factor allowing Apple to integrate a "Dynamic Island" camera. Previously, OLED technology only appeared on iPhones, Apple Watches and recently iPad Pro, never being brought to laptops.
While many Windows laptop models have had touch screens for a long time and integrated an optimized touch interface, Apple is considered the "latter".
However, modern macOS already has a fairly touch-friendly design, and Apple is also investing heavily in bringing iPad applications to macOS and developing multi-platform applications. If well optimized, a touch screen MacBook can bring a full experience from the beginning, even though having to reach the keyboard to touch the screen is still a controversial point.
