At some point soon, Apple willditch the MacBook Pros Touch Bar.
Before we get there though, lets have a little natter about the Touch Bar itself.

Apple has invented something that delivers a worse experience than what was there before.
And thats why the company needs needs to create the Touch Keys.
What the hell are Touch Keys?
Bear with me, well get to that shortly.
On an intellectual level, the Touch Bar is a great idea.
Having a row of function keys you might customize to your specific preferences is undoubtedly a Good ThingTM.
The issue has been the implementation.
Touch Key, if you will.
This shift would solve so many of Touch Bars reliability and tactility issues and may actually be useful.
Id go even further.
Get rid of the OLED displays and give the Touch Keys an e-ink display.
A move to the Touch Keys would also do wonders for Apples image.
Something Apple claimed was incredible up to the moment it removed it.
This doesnt need to be the case with the Touch Bar.
I know this is never going to happen, but weve all got to have a dream, right?
you’re free to thank me later, Mr. Tim Apple.
