Another interesting point - the headphone jack is still there on the MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Pro in space gray looks rather good.

He tapped the trackpad just once during the entire demo - to end the track.
Oct 27, 2016 23:39 IST
We aren't, by any means, expert DJs. But he's performing entirely with the Touch Bar. This could be wonderful for DJs.
Oct 27, 2016 23:38 IST
The app looks very well suited to the new Touch Bar.
Oct 27, 2016 23:37 IST
Djay Pro is the app he's talking about.
Oct 27, 2016 23:36 IST

Oct 27, 2016 23:35 IST
It'll arrive as an update before the end of the year, Evans says.
Oct 27, 2016 23:34 IST
This demo is really cool. Evans just used the Touch Bar and the trackpad to adjust the hue and make significant edits to an image.
Oct 27, 2016 23:33 IST
Full screens are amazing, she says. There are no panels, no menus, and you can focus 100 percent on the image.
Oct 27, 2016 23:32 IST
She's using only the Touch Bar to edit a photo.
Oct 27, 2016 23:31 IST
Bradee Evans, who is the experience designer for Photoshop, is on stage to talk about the app.

The MacBook Pro is likely to be faster, thinner, and lighter, or at least that's what the Apple we know would do. It could also have an Oled display panel on the keyboard and get rid of the Esc key. Support for Apple's Touch ID fingerprint sensor technology is also expected to be unveiled.

In other news, Apple may announce a TV guide app for the Apple TV, to make it easier to manage all of your subscriptions across content providers. This could be a great move for Apple TV users, but we're not yet sure how much it'll affect those who use it in India.
