The Apple software chief shared his thoughts regarding the touchscreen MacBook during the news outlet's Tech Live event. 

When Stern asked him if the tech firm would release a touchscreen laptop, he provided a very simple answer. 

"Who's to say?" said Craig. 

Many enthusiasts said that the statements shared by Federighi are very interesting. 

Some of them believe that his remarks hint that Apple is softening its stance on the development of touchscreen Mac laptops. 

However, fans should still take Craig's statements with a grain of salt since Apple itself hasn't announced any plan to develop and manufacture the said Macbook model.

On the other hand, ex-Apple CEO Steve Jobs also shared the company's reason why they haven't made any touchscreen Mac units. 

"We've done tons of user testing on [a Mac touchscreen], and it turns out it doesn't work," explained Jobs.
