On: Get Ready for Touch on Mac

I only watched like five minutes of the first video, and I already found it weird for a touch interface to do tap to select and double tap to open. It also seems perfectly natural that single click selects and double click opens. I wonder if I will eventually get used to this, or this is just another way Apple is shoehorning touch on the Mac.

This is how it works with voice over on ios devices, and it’s pretty natural after you use it for awhile.

But VoiceOver is a niche accessibility feature. This just confuses people who switch between the macOS touchscreen and the iOS touchscreen.

That's true. Usually apple is more consistent with UX. I wonder what advantages they saw to voice over touch style of interaction.
