Leaker Claims Touchscreen MacBook '100% Confirmed'

A prominent leaker, known as Instant Digital, has claimed that Apple is "100%" launching a MacBook with a touch-enabled screen. This assertion was made in a recent Weibo post, as reported via MacRumors. The claim suggests a potential shift from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs's previous stance, who once famously stated that a touchscreen MacBook would not happen.

Instant Digital's post did not provide further details regarding which specific MacBook model would feature the touchscreen or its expected release timeline.

However, this report aligns with previous statements from industry analysts. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have both indicated Apple's development of a touchscreen MacBook variant. Gurman's report from February 2026 suggested that the initial batch of touch-enabled Macs could be introduced as early as "this fall." He also indicated that Apple would likely offer users flexibility in how they utilize the touchscreen, allowing it to be used as much or as little as desired, rather than positioning the Mac as a superior alternative to the iPad.

Separately, rumors have circulated about a high-end "MacBook Ultra" potentially launching later this year. This top-tier device is rumored to feature Apple's most powerful chips and an OLED display, and it might be among the first models to incorporate touch capabilities. Rumors about a touchscreen Mac have circulated for years without previously materializing.

According to Mashable Tech, this latest claim builds on a long history of speculation regarding Apple's plans for touch-enabled MacBooks.
