Apple unveils touchscreen MacBook, but macOS set to remain largely unchanged

Apple has unveiled its first touchscreen MacBook, but the overall way macOS is operated is not expected to change much.

A key macOS-level change is the introduction of the iPhone’s Dynamic Island, enabling actions such as accepting AirDrop and pausing music via touch controls.
