Apple is no longer making a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar. It would be a great loss, but the Touch Bar long struggled to find its place in the Apple computing ecosystem.
The Touch Bar was too ahead of its time. This happens occasionally. We finally reach the point we can make a really cool idea technologically feasible but not feasible enough for widespread adoption. Think 3D TVs or augmented reality headsets. The Touch Bar, which is no longer available on any Mac sold by Apple, was like that. A really cool idea, executed pretty well, and never embraced by anyone but us diehards. When the Touch Bar launched, it felt like touching the future.
And if I wanted to remove the Siri button, which my dumb fingers had a habit of touching hourly, I had to hunt through the System Preferences app in macOS. Once I got there, I found that removing the Siri button was one of the few things one could actually customize about the Touch Bar. If I wanted an easy-to-access row of my favorite emoji, an app selector, or even a cool widget to consistently show me my upcoming meetings, I would struggle to do it natively.
