    It wasn’t “ahead of its time;” it was several years after everyone knew the idea was crap.

    Lenovo had a touchbar on ThinkPads for one year (IIRC) prior to the MacBook Pro, and then it was removed because no one liked it or used it.

    It’s a dumb idea that solves no problems, and making us choose between F-keys, which are actually required by some apps, and an emoji picker was inexcusable.

    Good riddance.

      THANK YOU, it’s so dumb and I can’t believe people are saying it was ahead of its time.

      People get tricked by the fact that it looks cool and futuristic. It’s a terrible idea and it’s embarrassing that Apple tried it after everyone else failed
