On new MacBooks, the touch bar was completely discontinued after seven years

After seven years, Apple is removing one of the most contentious features of the MacBook. The Touch Bar—which people either love or hate—comes with the 13-inch MacBook Pro when the firm discontinues it.

In addition to replacing physical buttons for features like screen brightness and volume, the touch-sensitive OLED display above the keyboard included shortcuts to Siri and emoji as well as typing suggestions. Additionally, it displayed many settings unique to the programs or operating systems you were now using. For instance, it might display the tabs you had open in Safari.

At the company’s Halloween-themed “Scary Fast” event on Monday night, Apple revealed that the laptop will be swapped out with a 14-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the latest M3 CPU. Though some 13-inch MacBook Pros were missing the Touch Bar, Apple is discontinuing the sale of new 13-inch MacBook Pro models.

When it was initially released in 2016, the Touch Bar has been a contentious feature. While some users thought it was superfluous or too prone to inadvertent taps, others appreciated the range of options it could provide in a single panel. Some simply didn’t notice that the dynamic touch-screen strip had replaced the tactile buttons.

In 2021, the business made a move toward doing away with the Touch Bar by removing it from the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro and switching back to tactile function keys.

“We made that choice because we know that our Pro users adore the full-size, tactile feel of those function keys. In an interview with wired that year, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Greg Joswiak, stated, “And we feel great about that.”
