Applehas been late to the party in bringing touchscreen displays to its Mac range but that could be changing. The latest rumours fromBloombergsuggest that touchscreen models could be released in 2025. That’s still a long way off but how will it impact the current MacBook and iPad ranges when it happens?

The currentiPadrange, particularly the latestiPad Pro 12.9 M2model, are fantastic. They have more than enough power for even the most demanding videographer. However, the iPadOS isn’t the most useable for work purposes. Meanwhile, there are times when I don’t need the complexity of a MacBook Pro for simple word processing, editing and web use.

The perfect solution for me would be an iPad Pro that runs MacOS, or at least one that could swap between a full MacOS and a simplified iPadOS, depending on your current needs.

That’s not to say I wouldn’t still like to have a touchscreen on my MacBook Pro. I’m always envious when I see PC users tap and swipe on their laptop screens – apart from when it leaves fingermarks.
