But first, let’s look at the basics: There are two models (13-inch and 15-inch screens) that come in silver and space grey. Touch Bar is an adaptive solution to shortcuts, changing functionality based on the application being used by the user.

IT Pro has asked Apple why it is raising its United Kingdom prices, but has not yet received a reply.
The flagship MacBook has finally gotten an update, with all sorts of new features that nearly make up for the long period since Apple introduced a new revision.
“We believe the future of TV is apps”, Cook said. Hence, if battery life is very important to you then, you should think twice before considering the newly announced MacBook Pro. Two days earlier, Apple reported declining revenue and profits for the quarter that ended last month.

Retiring products and moving on to something new is the way of the tech industry, and Apple has a ruthless history of doing just that.
Dawson said Apple’s strategy of putting more touch features on the keyboard is in sharp contrast to Microsoft, which on Wednesday unveiled a new desktop PC with powerful touch features on the display. Ditch it as in stash in a drawer where you can find it later, because if you ever need to restore your phone using iTunes, which does sometimes happen, you will need that USB to USB-C adapter. It is a multi-touch Retina-class bar that will work as the function keys on the keyboard.
For example, the Touch Bar can show Tabs and Favourites in Safari, enable easy access to emoji in Messages, provide a simple way to edit images or scrub through videos in Photos and so much more.
To be different, Apple opted to remove these keys and replace them with a highly-versatile touch bar. The machines only include Thunderbolt 3 ports, a new standard which uses the USB-C connector.
