Apple is rumored to unveil a touchscreen MacBook Pro this month, marking the first-ever touchscreen Mac. The groundwork for this innovation is being laid in macOS 27.2, with new references to touch gestures. Aaron Perris for MacRumors found "gesture recognition tools" in several stock Apple apps for macOS 27.2 beta 3. The beta update also features a new long-press animation for the Dock, potentially indicating the upcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro.
Apple has made several changes to macOS 27 in anticipation of touchscreen support, including pull-to-refresh functionality and touch input to Sidecar, a feature that allows iPads to function as secondary displays for Macs. Bloomberg has reported on Apple's efforts to optimize macOS for the upcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro, which could feature an OLED display and be significantly lighter than current models.
The new MacBook Pro is expected to launch this month, though Bloomberg warns it may be delayed to November.
