However, curiously Apple shows no signs that a touch screen MacBook is on the horizon and is sticking to their viewpoint that their users just don't need it. I do know that Apple has had customers clamoring for touch screen MacBooks who have become indoctrinated into touch UI's via iPads. Scanning the most recent rumors on future MacBooks I find no references at all to adding a touch screen to any new Apple laptop. They continue to be holding to their philosophy that people don't want to take their hands off the keyboard, and the trackpad or mouse is the more efficient way to interact with all of their clamshell MacBooks. Still, Apple remains a hold-out on adding a touch screen to any MacBooks. Starting with two-in-ones and now on all types of laptop designs, the optional touch screen UI's are standard fare on about 35% of all laptops produced. Since the intro of Apple's touch UI, touch screen laptops have become popular in the Windows laptop world. While some did use the touch bar, it never did take off with MacBook users, and Apple took it out of future designs in 2020. They were adamant that the TouchBar would give people that feature without having to touch the screen. At the time of the touch bar introduction, I had a discussion with a couple of high-level Apple executives who, at that time, argued that people did not want to lift their hands from the keyboard to use the screen for interacting with a program. The Luna hardware unit (USB-C, HDMI, or Mini DisplayPort) Access to the Luna Display apps for desktop and iPad Luna Display is a one-time hardware purchase (no subscriptions) Luna Display Modes. After that, the bar can be attached and removed easily.Apple did add touch capabilities to the Mac via the TouchBar in 2016, which integrated a touch UI into the keyboard but not the screen. Luna Display turns your iPad into a wireless display for Mac or PC. First, align the bar along the bottom bezel of the screen (this model is specifically sized for the 13-inch MacBook Air), then attach a couple of small round adhesive magnets.
The simple installation process takes only a couple of minutes. This also means it can only work on the Air, which is the only current Apple laptop with a standard-size USB port. The AirBar's USB connector sits at the end of a short wire and fits into the USB port on the right side of the MacBook. The device - previously available for 13-, 14- and 15-inch Windows laptops - sends a beam of light up from a slim, sleek bar that attaches magnetically below the MacBook's screen. But a new version of a computer accessory called the AirBar makes this a reality, adding touch functions to Apple's slim 13-inch MacBook Air laptop, thanks to a USB-connected sensor bar that attaches to the bottom edge of the display. It was touch and go there for a while: The possibility of ever seeing a MacBook with touchscreen features seemed remote.
