Schiller speaks under a graphic of the processor of a new 15in MacBook Pro during an Apple media event in Cupertino. The new Force Touch trackpad is also twice the size of the old one. The right end of the strip now contains Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint scanner integrated into the power button, which is similar to the one fitted to the iPhone and iPad and can be used to unlock the laptop and confirm payments. It can also suggest and insert emojis without leaving the keyboard. It adapts to whatever software you’re using.”Ĭraig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering for Apple, showed that the Touch Bar could be used for navigation in browsers, photo manipulation and text suggestions when typing. First it replaces the standard system functions, but it goes way beyond that. Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing for Apple, said: “It’s a retina display, multitouch, responding to gestures and taps. The biggest change to the design of the machine is a new OLED touch panel above the standard keyboard, which replaces the multi-function “F” keys, and allows dynamic shortcuts to functions such as volume control and window management. The Touch Bar is a customisable and context-sensitive OLED touchscreen positioned above the keyboard.
