Leaker Claims Apple’s First Touchscreen MacBook '100 Confirmed' Amid Speculation
A well-known Chinese leaker, Instant Digital, has claimed with certainty that Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook is "100 confirmed," adding to ongoing speculation supported by analysts and supply-chain reports. The device, possibly named MacBook Ultra, is expected to feature an OLED display, contextual touch controls, and a redesigned form factor. While Apple has historically avoided touchscreens on MacBooks, recent leaks suggest a shift in strategy, with a potential launch in the third quarter of this year. However, some caution remains due to the leaker’s limited track record.
