Apple was always against touchscreen Macs. What changed?
Ever since Windows 8 paved the way for touchscreen laptops, Apple’s been against them. And the company’s leaders haven’t exactly been shy about making their feelings known. “It gives great demo, but after a short period of time you get fatigue,” Steve Jobs said in 2010 . “It’s ergonomically…
