Apple’s new Touch Bar looks like the coolest innovation since trackpads, but there’s just one problem: You must buy a brand new MacBook Pro to get it.
It seems inevitable that Apple will eventually bring the Touch Bar to all Macs, so a concept artist created a mockup of what that may look like. It looks like a Touch Bar on a new Magic Keyboard would be even more incredible than on the MacBook Pro.
Take a closer look:

Apple introduced the new Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro at a keynote last week. The new input uses a touch-sensitive OLED screen to display dynamic buttons and controls based on what app you’re using.
[contextly_auto_sidebar] Developers can add support for the Touch Bar to their apps. A number of Apple’s popular apps will support the new feature once the Touch Bar-equipped MacBook Pros ship next month.
Making the Touch Bar accessible for all Mac users would certainly give developers more incentive to support the feature. Soon enough, it might seem really weird to not have a Touch Bar on your keyboard.
Knowing Apple, the Magic Keyboard with Touch Bar won’t be cheap. Expect to pay at least $200 or more.
