My guess is that they're trying to slipstreamline everything into one platform.
This way things are completely universal. Actually, to tell you the truth,
Having full on OSX on an iPhone/iPad would be a very very much welcome thing,
in my opinion. I think that could be kind a cool.

Apple engineers are definitely not stupid. Question, why are apple computers
steadily moving toward an iOS look and feel? The Touch bar is possibly evidence
for my argument. We no longer have to press function keys.

Okay, that is pushing things a bit far.
Firstly, sited people still need and want physical keyboards. Why do you
reckon they sell Bluetooth keyboards for the iPad? Thus, removing the keyboard
from a laptop would be a monumentally stupid thing to do. One thing we all can
agree on, the apple engineering team definitely cannot be classified as stupid.
Using a touchscreen for their laptop displays, would also not be the
greatest idea in the world. Look at the Microsoft surface book, what a dumbass
idea. Apple will never go that route. A laptop that cannot be safely used when
on your lap? Seriously?
If I am wrong, I would be very surprised.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised that the touchpad will take the place of
the keyboard and there will be a software keyboard such as that on iOS devices.
Thus the iOSification will be complete.

Chris,
The power button on the new touch bar is also a touch sensor such as on
the iPhone now,
So it will read your finger print as well as turn your machine on.
Plus the new machines have a larger touch pad, will be interesting to
see how that goes for us.

What do you mean by the touch ID. Sorry, I have Scott's messages
blocked, so I am only seeing 3/4 rather than all of this thread, so forgive me.

I believe it was I who guessed at the touch ID tripple press. From
the look of their answer to you, Scot, seems like what they actually went for
was pressing the command key plus the tripple press of touch ID. IN other
words, you press and hold down the command key and while doing so, you tripple
press the touch ID.

This sounds better and better and I have to compliment Apple in
such a quick turn around on this question.

Hello,
Thank you for your email. Touch Bar works with VoiceOver, Zoom
and Switch Control. For VoiceOver users, Touch Bar uses VoiceOver gestures
users already know and love from iOS to navigate and control the information on
display in the Touch Bar. To turn VoiceOver on or off, hold the Command key and
triple-press the Touch ID button.

Hi, now that Apple is using the light bar how does a blind user
activate voice over independently with out an F5 key. Is there a replacement
for command F5?
Thanks
Scott
P.S. Thank you all for your hard work. I use Macs every day
in my professional life and your accessibility tools make that possible. As a
network engineer you help this blind professional every day and I do thank you.
