Summary
macOS 27 beta now lets users control the system through an iPad touchscreen over Sidecar, adding scrolling, menu selection and pinch-to-zoom that macOS 26 did not support.
That change does not confirm a touchscreen Mac, but it strengthens long-running reports that Apple is preparing an OLED MacBook Ultra with direct touch input.
Rumored hardware details point to 14.3-inch and 16.3-inch OLED models, a thinner redesign, and a punch-hole or Dynamic Island replacing the current notch.
The reported lineup would use Apple’s M6 Pro or M6 Max chips and launch between September 2026 and spring 2027, likely above the current $1,549 MacBook Pro.
