In 2010, Steve Jobs called touchscreen laptops ergonomically terrible, and Apple spent the next 16 years agreeing with him. The new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display ends that run, and its OLED panel is what made touch possible. Jobs would probably still complain about tired arms. He would also likely recognise the move, because his no was usually aimed at ideas Apple couldn’t yet do well.
