If you want a touch based OS from Apple, then that already exists. It is called iOS.
Why would you want a touch interface on an interface optimized for mouse and keyboard?
You cannot have both. What works well for touch will be terrible with a keyboard/mouse interface.
Microsoft was morons trying to merge the two paradigms. Win 10 is one of the worst OS’s I have used.
- arm 6y agoApple has already announced ARM-based Macs will support running iOS apps. While they’d technically be usable without a touchscreen, I’d expect the user experience to be quite bad; especially for iOS games.
- snazz 6y agoLots of iOS games already support gamepads and iOS has supported keyboards and mice for a while now. I'm guessing that developers will be able to support keyboard/mouse once and get it on the iPad and Apple Silicon Macs.
