Apple is widely expected to release a new touchscreen MacBook Pro as soon as this month. This will mark the first-ever touchscreen Mac, and Apple is laying the groundwork in macOS 27.2 to accommodate touch gestures.<\/p>\n

Apple released macOS 27.2 beta 3 to developers today, and it includes new references to upcoming support for touchscreen interactivity. As discovered by Aaron Perris<\/a> for MacRumors<\/a>, there are \u201cgesture recognition tools\u201d for several stock Apple apps:<\/p>\n

Photos adds \u201cPXGTouchDwellGestureRecognizer\u201d<\/p>\n

Notes adds \u201cICTouchPressGestureRecognizer\u201d<\/p>\n

Safari adds \u201ca touch sentinel recognizer\u201d<\/p>\n

Quick Look adds a \u201cdragTouch feature\u201d<\/p>\n

macOS 27.2 beta 3 also adds a new long-press animation for the Dock, which could also be a hint at the forthcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro:<\/p>\n

Apple has gradually made a number of changes to macOS 27 in preparation for touchscreen support, including pull-to-refresh support<\/a> for the first time. macOS 27 also added touch input to Sidecar, a feature that lets you use your iPad as a secondary display for your Mac.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg has also reported<\/a> on Apple\u2019s work to optimize macOS for the impending touchscreen MacBook Pro. For instance, tapping a button or control will prompt macOS to dynamically display relevant touch options. Similarly, tapping the menu bar will automatically enlarge controls for easier touch navigation.<\/p>\n

In addition to a touchscreen, the new MacBook Pro will reportedly<\/a> have an OLED display and be \u201csignificantly lighter\u201d than<\/a> the current models.<\/p>\n

Apple is expected to introduce the new MacBook Pro (or MacBook Ultra?) as soon as this month, though Bloomberg has cautioned<\/a> it could slip to November.<\/p>\n
