Tim Cook said "you can make every product converge, but the problem is that each product has its own equilibrium points. If you break these equilibrium points, your product will not work. It's like you're combining a refrigerator with a toaster, such products don't satisfy any user. '
In addition, Apple CEO also teased to integrate touch features into desktops, the target is none other than Windows 8. Microsoft's latest operating system inherits the characteristics of traditional Windows and Equipped with Metro interface for touch features.

This is not the first time Apple CEO denies integrating touch functionality into Mac computers. In an interview with Wall Street Journal, Tim Cook said this was unwise. Previously, Steve Jobs had talked about integrating touch into Mac computers that would create "terrible inconvenience". In the introduction of MacBook Air 2011, the late Apple CEO said that the company had tried hundreds of times but the touch on the computer was not good, especially when the monitor was standing.
According to Cnet, Apple sold about 47 million iOS devices in the second quarter, much higher than the 4 million Macs. IOS devices and Mac computers run on different operating systems. Although these two operating systems have many similarities, "Apple" has never been interested in integrating the iOS and OS X operating systems as one. The upcoming OS X Mountain Lion operating system also has a number of iOS features and applications.
