Apple just told the world it has no idea who the Mac is for(medium.com)

    I'm fine with Apple not investing in a full touch screen. Touch Bar is perfectly fine for what it does and allows.

    iOS is a much more modern, touch-capable software than macOS, I rather see the focus in improving its capabilities until it becomes a viable alternative for creative professionals.

    Let's not forget that Apple's intention is for its users to combine multiple devices into a full workflow. Not saying this makes sense from our perspective, but I certainly understand this rationale and as I said above, we'll be seeing iOS taking more and more precedence.

    In the meantime, Touch Bar seems to do the job for macOS.

      Then why require a dongle to connect the devices to each other? Making your users run around with a pocketful of adapters in order to maintain their current workflow doesn't seem like a well thought out plan.
