Apple has already announced the new MacBook Pro during a media event at its headquarters in Cupertino. Many details were leaked in advance, such as the touch bar above the keyboard and the new fingerprint scanner. The new MacBook Pros are today already available in the Apple Store and supplied in the market.
Touch Bar
Apple will not be happy that already early leaked much information about the OLED bar. It was thought that Apple would use the name Magic Toolbar, but ultimately chose Touch Bar. OLED strip above the keyboard is the main new feature. The fixed function keys F1 / F12 expired and also dedicated buttons for adjusting the screen brightness, music and sound volume are no longer in place. Instead, there is a narrow touch screen is provided, which depending on the application shows other functions.
Also, third-party developers can develop applications for the Touch Bar. On stage, Apple showed applications in Adobe Photoshop (graphics) and Algorithm (make music). Both of these updates of the software appear before the end of the year. Microsoft also will customize all Office apps before the end of the year for the Touch Bar, which incidentally supports 10 fingers simultaneously. Pixelate, Sketch, Resolve and more will make adjustments to the Touch Bar.
