Replacement of the touch bar on Apple MacBook Pro 2021 Series with functional buttons

Last night we saw the introduction of the new generation of Apple MacBook Pros in two models, 14 and 16 inches. Relatively many changes have been made in these devices compared to the previous generation. From the new design to the return of the ports and the use of proprietary next-generation chipsets that have made the new MacBook Pro stand out. One of the lesser-known changes to this device is the removal of the Touch Bar model from the MacBook Pro family. Apple does this part MacBook Pro Series 2021 It has replaced it with a row of new buttons, the purpose of which is to increase productivity and make some things easier for the MacBook Pro. Something that Touch Bar may not have been successful enough, and Apple decided to retire sooner than expected.

New shortcuts on the 2021 Series MacBook Pro instead of the Touch Bar

The Cupertinos now provide users with some commands easily and quickly by adding a series of new shortcuts. Row of functional keys The new generation MacBook Pros, although not different in appearance and size from other keyboard keys on the device, offer a different function. These keys are new shortcuts to implement features such as Siri voice assistant, Spotlight, Ditaction, as well as the Do Not Disturb feature. The usual shortcuts for adjusting screen brightness, media playback, volume control, etc. remain in place. Apple has also included a Touch ID section with a new loop that gives device users better touch feedback when accessing it.

Although new shortcuts have been introduced to the MacBook Pro, which can certainly increase the productivity of users of these devices, but perhaps due to the greater flexibility, some users prefer the former MacBook Pro touch bar. However, in this case, the 14-inch MacBook Pro, which was introduced with a base price of $ 1999, would probably receive a higher price tag. Due to the removal of the touch bar, we can not expect the return of this feature in future MacBook Pro models. However, there are enough changes in the new generation MacBooks that removing the touch bar may not be particularly important.

New generation MacBooks now come with more variety and more ports. Including HDMI 2.0 port, Thunderbolt 4 ports and MagSafe charging connector and SD memory card slot, which are definitely useful for many users of these devices. Apple also used for the first time a Mini-LED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz on its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.
