Briefings

Apple announced a new touchscreen MacBook in October 2026, marking the first device combining a touchscreen interface with a traditional refrigerator. CEO John Ternus stated, 'You've gotta touch it to believe it,' though the product remains untested by the author. This marks a significant shift from Steve Jobs' 2010 ergonomic warnings about vertical touch surfaces.
