Apple® products are revered for their modern engineering, ease of use and consistent software upgrades. One of the most recent innovations is the MacBook Pro® Touch Bar™. This thin strip of responsive glass acts as a touchscreen for the laptop, making it easier to use the top row of command keys and toggle between different commands depending on which software or program is running. Whether you are new to Apple products or a seasoned user, this new feature requires some insight and understanding to reap the full spectrum of its benefits. 

Everything You Need to Know About the Apple Touch Bar

How Does It Work?

Just above the keyboard on a MacBook laptop sits the Touch Bar, which responds to the touch of your hand like an iPhone®. The new feature includes shortcuts for common applications, like Safari®, Photos, and Maps, allowing you to switch between screens and open up programs more quickly and fluidly. This advanced technology replaces the traditional use of the trackpad and has no lag time in between commands. 

How Will It Benefit Me?

MacBook users who want quick, seamless operation will find the Touch Bar is the feature they have been waiting for. It offers autocomplete capabilities, suggesting words as you type so you can breeze through emails and documents. If you’re required to toggle multiple pages at once, the Touch Bar will also help you switch back and forth swiftly without losing your place.

Photo editors will enjoy the hands-on control this feature delivers, as you can use your fingers to crop and adjust images, as well as to compare the original with the final product. Finally, avid online shoppers can employ Apple Pay® by using their fingerprint and the Touch Bar to complete secure purchases faster than ever before.
