Live Coverage of Apple's 'Hello Again' Mac Event

[Naraxus]

There was a time when Apple would have laughed at Microsoft for doing this sort of crap. Sad really how things have changed.

My Pokemon emojis are gonna look fantastic on that Magic Bar!

Who needs to work and use proffesional desktop machines, eh?

 

[anthorumor]

Noooo, emoticons!

 

[pjarvi]

Should have worn your Apple Watch so you wouldn't have to touch it at all.

 

[vp719]

So is Touch ID integrated into the glass? Preview of iPhone 8? It doesn't look like there is the "button" there?

 

[duervo]

Took me forever to break the habit of looking down at the keyboard while typing. Years of being ostracized and ridiculed by my peers, and today it's all for naught. You gotta look at that touch bar now in order see which mode it's in and interact with it ... look back down at the keyboard. I was doing it right all along ... thanks Apple!

I can literally feel my old keyboard habits coming back with a triumphant, "Huzzah!"

 

[gtgrad95]

Please please please some ports!

 

[NerosNeptune]

I want this dude to do all the keynotes in the future.

Touchbar looks brilliant but I usually have my MacBook docked and use a 3rd party keyboard so won't be able to use it much. But when I do - seems like will be fun. Would love a new Apple Keyboard with this built in.

 

[itsmilo]

Finally someone who doesnt sound like hes been dead for the last 5 years

 

[jdillings]

Siri has a dedicated key

 

[WinstonRumfoord]

Maybe we can remap the siri key to do sometihng useful?

 

[Polaroid]

Thats a thin bezel!

 

[Barrierfreeman]

So far Windows > Apple this week.

 

[Ries]

Seeing a prerecorded video live, put that camera onto the macbook...

 

[pat500000]

Now i know why the event is "hello again." Craig came back to see us again.

 

[DonutHands]

why does siri need a key? where is hey siri on the mac. or some other trigger so it does not interfere with your phone.

 

[redheeler]

The Touch Bar actually doesn't look like a useless gimmick. It's a great alternative to a fully touchscreen Mac.

 

[Nr123*123]

Soooooo Microsoft after this MacBook Retina dies on me.

Apple's priorities are emojis. Mine are not.

 

[maflynn]

Well, at least the touchbar can bring back the f keys

 

[Traverse]

I like those thinner bezels.

 

[DevNull0]

Yeah look where its got them......

You mean to the point where their profits are falling, they're a laughing stock in their own fan forum, and Microsoft of all companies is eating their lunch.

 

[The Captain]

Wait, so if I'm on set and a client needs a graphic while i'm busy I cant have an intern go and boot up my computer to get it unless I cut off my finger and give it to them now?

 

[mrxak]

This new touch bar thingy is actually kind of supporting the theory about macOS/iOS merging in the near future.

 

[iThingsGurl]

Yay! A Touch Bar that breaks every time there's a new macOS update

 

[840quadra]

There you go, the Function keys can Come back, for those worried .
