What Is A Touch Bar

Added to the MacBook Pro in 2016, the Touch Bar is a small touch screen panel on the keyboard of both the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models. The Touch Bar entirely replaced the function keys found on previous models keyboards and can be used for shortcuts in programs that support this feature.

While not all Mac users miss function keys, many dislike the Touch Bar because of the missing Esc and frequently pressing a button like the Siri button on accident.
