Apple CEO John Ternus Teases Touchscreen MacBooks: 12 Final Rumors

In a post on X today, Apple CEO John Ternus shared a short video that shows an Apple logo being projected onto a dark wall against a nighttime city skyline. This teaser comes just a few hours before Apple is expected to announce new MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays, so it is very likely in reference to that.

Apple invited selected tech reporters and content creators to a “Pro and tell” experience in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Pacific Time today. There, guests will likely receive hands-on time with the touchscreen MacBook models, along with the new iPad mini, iMac, and 14-inch MacBook Pro models that Apple already announced earlier this week.
