Hallelujah, it\u2019s finally happening. Apple might finally get rid of the dreadful Touchbar from MacBook Pros this year.<\/p>\n

As noted by 9to5Mac<\/a>, renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the company will replace the touch panel with physical buttons in its upcoming devices. Plus, it\u2019s also planning to bring back IO ports and the Magsafe method of charging.<\/p>\n

This is wonderful news as the Touchbar has been a useless and hated accessory<\/span>. My colleague Callum dedicated a whole piece to <\/span>how Touch Bar ruined his life<\/a>, and as he eloquently put it, \u201cThe MacBook Touch Bar fucking sucks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t been a productive addition, and people would rather have physical keys, so Apple\u2019s decision would be cherished.<\/p>\n

For many users, IO ports, such as USB-A slot and SD-Card reader, would be a welcome change. Currently, the MacBook Pro lineup only features USB-C ports, so people have to buy additional dongles to connect to other accessories.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m intrigued that Apple is returning to Magsafe charging, and I\u2019d love to hear why they\u2019re doing it. More and more machines are moving towards USB-C, so people are investing in charging bricks and power banks supporting that standard. If Apple goes the Magsafe way, I\u2019d have to lug another charger around.<\/p>\n

Kuo also said that the tech giant is going to make a design change and square off the edges on the upcoming MacBook Pros \u2014 matching the design aesthetics of the iPhone 12 and the iPad Pro.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great to start off the year with fantastic news about the MacBook Pros. However, there\u2019s still no mention of whether Apple will release MacBook Pros with touchscreens, but I\u2019m crossing my fingers they will.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve currently got a laptop featuring the awful Touch Bar and can\u2019t wait for the new version to drop, you can always <\/span>make it slightly more bearable by stopping it from changing all the damn time <\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
