It’s going to be interesting, Apple have been moving things towards a combination of mac computer and IOS touch system for a while now, so guess the virtual keyboard interface is on it’s way.

How many people did we hear complain about the virtual home button instead of the real button like the previous iPhones. Once it was released a lot of us who were somewhat concerned (myself included) thought the new button was the coolest thing since sliced bread. So the light bar does not scare me. I’ll tell you what sounds real interesting is the 2018 keyboard design where all keys use a combination of digital ink and some sort of physical key so that every key can be remapped and the remapped function actually appears on the key. I think that sounds cool and dare I say even useful.

I know many doubt, but look back to the iPhone 3gs, things worked out fine in the end. Apple has a history of pushing shocking ideas to the for, and look where we are today. I might not be one of those buying the new Mac, but I would, if I had the need and the money.

There will still be that functionality on the new magic track bar or whatever they're calling it. But if you are a person who wants to have a hardware escape key, you will have to remap an existing key to get it. For those of you who use caps lock for voiceover, good luck. I have no idea how that Mike coexist with this new functionality. Or you're stuck with the new magic track bar and it's soft functionality. Could be interesting.
