Less than two years after it was effectively killed on most Macs, is Touch Bar going to make a reappearance as a much broader product for MacBook?

I use the Touch Bar everyday when working with my work-issued MBP M1 and it does make a few things easier. When the TB was first introduced, I didn’t think it would be useful, but I was wrong.

I had to show a friend of mine who is looking to get a MacBook Pro that there is indeed the F-keys if he needs them. He has read so much misinformation that the Touch Bar took away the F-keys and they are gone for good. When I showed him the function button on the keyboard that brought back all the F-keys, he thought it was some sort of sorcery but said he didn’t understand what all the fuss was about since it is still there, just a tap away. We laughed.

That’s awesome. I really enjoy the Touch Bar. It’s like no matter what app or browser you’re working with the Touch Bar adjusts to it. For example, if the Mail app is active, the Touch Bar will display icons depicting the following:

Compose
Reply
Archive
Move
Flag
Etcetera


I love it.

Perhaps when they will when micro leds displays come into market.
