Apple ends its touchscreen holdout with OLED MacBook Pro, with Samsung Display reported as sole panel supplier
What happened
Apple is ending its touchscreen holdout with an OLED MacBook Pro, its first touchscreen Mac, reversing a design stance the company defended for more than a decade. Samsung Display is reported to be supplying all of the panels. The product is premium-priced and serves as a test of whether touch and tandem OLED can lift Mac demand in a shrinking PC market. The supplier claim is a report (reported), not a confirmed fact; the source does not state a cause beyond these facts.
