With TouchBar, users can also access emojis from their laptop, similar to how they do on an iPhone. Users can customize the strip to contain various functions, brightness or volume and to contain programs, such as iMovie, GarageBand or Terminal. TouchBar is a new iteration of settings on the MacBook Pro. Apple announced its 2016 MacBook Pro line at its “Hello Again” keynote event in Cupertino, California, introducing its Touch ID fingerprint authentication and an on-screen touch menu called Touch Bar to the laptop range.
