Many months we Mac users have been waiting for the Cupertino-based company to renew their devices, at least the MacBook Pro range, a range that seems to have been abandoned by Apple, despite the continuous rumors about the renewal of this device in concrete. Last week Apple confirmed that next Thursday the 27th, the company will present the expected renewal of the company's terminals, but not all, since according to the latest leaks so only the MacBook Pro will be renewed, leaving the renewal of the iMac for next year.
Yesterday Apple released the first major update of macOS Sierra, in which we found improvements in the stability and security of the operating system for Mac computers. But in addition, a MacRumors reader has found lhe confirmation of the widespread rumor about the possibility of Apple introducing an OLED screen touch on the top of the keyboard.
Lorin found this confirmation by accessing system preferences and trying to activate the on-screen keyboard. As we can see in the image that heads this article, the new keyboard only offers us 5 rows of keys while the old model shows us 6 rows. The deleted row on the new keyboard is the top one, where we find the keys for functions such as brightness, volume, music playback, multitasking, the launchpad ...
The image does not show us the existence of an OLED screen or its functionality, so it is likely that the adjustments of that screen are made through other menus. The disappearance of this sixth row would confirm the configurable OLED panel according to the application we use and that It could also integrate a fingerprint sensor both to access the MacBook without entering the password and to make payments through Apple Pay without having to confirm the purchase with the iPhone.
UPDATED:
MacRumors has published the first images of how the OLED touch screen of the new MacBook Pro will be presented next Thursday, October 27. How can we see this touch panel with OLED screen would integrate a fingerprint sensor to confirm our identity when making purchases over the internet and paying for them with Apple Pay.
