Macworld Podcast: Macworld is so wrong about Safari and the Touch Bar

I actually really like the changes. So much easier to use one handed.

I for myself like it. On a phone most sites are opened from links, not you typing. And swiping between tabs used to be a pain, now it’s a breeze. So just stop the whining. Also no home button. And it’s not a monchrom LCD.

is Apple so hard up to make changes that they now make changes just for change sake??? have they lost creativity??? Steve Jobs…..where are YOU…Apple is in serious need of a CREATIVITY BOOST….TIM is not a tech guy.

Actually once you get used to it, it’s pretty cool and practical. Never once thought it’s useless since I started using it.

I will miss it. I think removing it is truly a mistake.

Congrats moron, you talked them out of functionality and just for fun, we’ll pay the same price. Small minded, tech bloggers couldn’t adjust their work flow. Meanwhile the rest of us are like hey I used that! I hope they turn the whole keyboard into a Touch Bar!

I like the Touch Bar after begrudgingly buying a MacBook Pro w/ it. Using it doesn’t distract my focus like w/ Microsoft’s Office Ribbon (still after a decade). Maybe the author’s Touch Bar experience would have been better if not for being using a Mac Pro years ago

The biggest issue is probably the lack of tactile feedback. A regular F1 key you can press blind. A touchbar one, you can… if you are lucky.
Also, is it worth the added price? I’m not talking about real cost, but the price Apple charges for it.

To me the Touchbar was awkward to use. I already don’t like the oversized trackpad, I am always having to repeatedly click one side or the other just to get clicking on a screen object to work. With the Touchbar I now had to arch my hand over the keyboard just to use it. A pain.

Siri actually does something? Since when? It’s literally the worst “digital assistant” on the market. Apple should just remove it and the overhead it consumes on it’s products and chalk it up to another failed venture like Apple Maps and their failed advertising platform.
