The Touch Bar on the high-end MacBook Pro is the biggest change to the range. It’s a customisable strip-screen that allows for slicker control to certain apps and software. It allows for multi-touch gestures, meaning photo editing the DJing applications to name but two can host new features.
Whether it’s changing the volume of a song or swiping to edit a certain frame of a video in iMovie, it will be a great way for developers to utilise new ways to interact with the MacBook Pro, which continues to not include a touchscreen display.
Quick Type functionality is also built in, helping to type quicker with predictive suggestions as on iPhone and iPad.
For making secure payments, there is an Apple T1 chip inside the MacBook Pro provides secure Touch ID payments in partnership with retailer websites.
The Touch Bar is also customisable, and you can click and drag your preferred commands into the Bar like you might on an Android smartphone.
