What will likely happen is Apple will replace Touch Bar with keys, and add OLED / e-ink screens on those keys.


That would have made more sense than the TB. You get a dynamic input method without sacrificing usability.


I imagined they’d expand it with more functionality, but I don’t think it’s getting any update in the new models?

At the minute it doesn’t do much except replace your function keys with a display. If it could render the dock or maybe take over some of notification centre, it might have some novel functionality.

What I’ve been trying to do so far is see if I can integrate it with emacs through a dynamic module, so it could render the modeline.


This would be superb
