The Touch Bar is garbage UX and I stand by that. I don’t want to have to look down at my keyboard EVER.

I’ve had the Touch Bar since 2018.

I’m convinced I’ve accidentally activated it far more times than I intended to activate.

And replacing the “esc” key with a touch key? It deserved to die.

Most of what Apple does, does

Think about a Keyboard with OLED keys

Heck even one with RGB and Brightness Control would be a beauty to behold

I’m glad I got the original MacBook Pro with M1 with the touch bar, it is a Pro with fans and all yet it seems as light and slim as the current MacBook Air, I also love the touch bar

I hated that thing. Replacing the F keys with that was an F’ing disaster. Also it was buggy. Had to take mine in for repairs twice.

She will be back!

I’m so mad the took that out. I vj on occasion and that shit was a god send. You ever try to scrub video in real time with a mouse, like you’re a dJ? That thing made it so easy. Now I gotta attach a controller like a shmuck.

I think the Touch Bar helped with the development of Apple Silicon or at least its integration with macOS, so the title could also read “…You Delivered Incredible Results”.

My 2016 makes me happy. I do not want to pay more for less.

Good riddance.

As a professional, I keep my fingers on the keyboard at all times.

Then came the touchbar. Phantom key presses all the time, having to be conscious where your fingers are at all times. A true nightmare. So glad to have the function keys back.

Was an interesting idea. I think for it to take off they would have needed to shorten the trackpad, move the keyboard down slightly, keep full F-row at half-height, and make the touchscreen taller and closer to bottom of the screen. It was so small, lo-res, and usually slightly covered up by hands.
On top of this, even Apple didn’t use it for much on their apps, in general it was rarely utilized well.

Overall I think the key part of it was evolution and learning for apple silicon on the Mac.

I’ve never been able to adjust my workflow for it; I simply don’t look at the keyboard much at all.
Also I found that the brief period I really tried to use it, it kind of triggered some muscle memory that had me touching the main screen quite a bit, which of course doesn’t work and leaves fingerprints. It’s a weird hybrid.

I have a 2018 MacBook Pro and to this day, I can skip almost any ad using the Touch Bar. It’s a super power and I love it, no one else seems to know about it though.

I still have the touch bar on the 2019 16” Pro. I love it and don’t want the new models without it

I love the Touch Bar but…yeah…it was so underutilized.

But let’s be honest, the escape key was just a ludicrous omission.
