The Touch Bar launched on the 2016 MacBook Pro. Fast-forward to now, and it’s all but gone from the Mac lineup. A touch-sensitive OLED strip along the keyboard top, the Touch Bar, with its app shortcuts, seemed great. It certainly gave an impressive demo! But when I upgraded my MacBook, the Touch Bar struck me as a nuisance rather than a convenience. So I did the unthinkable and disabled Touch Bar functionality after just a few months.
