Apple 最新专利将 Touch Bar 及 Touch ID 带到 Magic Keyboard

每隔一会儿总会有关于 Apple 的专利申请表出现，在 2016 年 MacBook Pro 推出之时，大概已有人认为这个 Touch Bar 及 Touch ID 设计将会移植至 Magic Keyboard 身上，而这次正正就是其专利所证明。

In some embodiments, the device may also include a processing unit positioned within the housing, and a primary display positioned at least partially within the housing and configured to display a graphical-user interface executed by the processing unit. In some embodiments, the display is an organic light-emitting diode display. The electronic device may be a keyboard device.

One of the comments people have been making about the Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro is that it will be irrelevant to those professionals who mostly use their Mac at their desk with an external monitor and keyboard. Unless Apple can offer an external keyboard with a Touch Bar, the feature may not see much use.

专利所显示的就是在键盘上加入如 MacBook Pro 般的 Touch Bar 设定，虽然有人认为 2016 年所推出 MacBook Pro Touch Bar 实际用途不多，而且亦稍为有点耗电，但若 Apple 真的把 Touch Bar 移植至 Magic Keyboard ，首要解决的问题便是电池寿命，另外便是制作成本，大家即管期待成品的来临。
