A comment that I may regret in a few minutes, but it seems to me that running iOS apps directly on new Macs implies touch screen.
- MR4D 6y agoIf you remember that they had cursor support in the latest iPad , my guess is that the cursor support enables it instead of a touchscreen.
- penagwin 6y agoWoah I think you're right. Sure some apps might work without a touchscreen but that kinda defeats the point? Unless this feature is just to help on board new apps to macs that were previously only for ios but don't require a touch screen, but that seems like it would be rather niche? I bet they're actually pivoting towards a product that's "ipad pro + desktop apps" and then they'll try to phase out their "computers" that currently feel like an after thought.
- MR4D 6y agoI think iPad mouse support is a better bet: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211008 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211008

- threeseed 6y agoiOS apps are built using a Mac and a mouse. I highly doubt Apple would have a touch screen anytime soon.
- kohtatsu 6y agoIt's just a neat way of porting iOS code to native mac apps, to expedite development. It isn't an iOS emulator or anything cheap like that.
