The three-finger gestures on the trackpad of the new MacBook Pros do not work correctly

new-macbook-pro-2016

Again we have to talk about the problems that some MacBook Pro models are having. A few days ago, some users claimed that their new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar had SIP disabled, a protection that limits root permissions, preventing any type of malware from entering the system and affecting our Mac. SIP blocks specific system accesses where the installation files are located. But this time, we are not talking about a problem that can be solved quickly with a few simple commands through the terminal line, but rather it seems a problem of hardware or of the operating system itself.

The new problem that users are having has to do with the three-finger gestures they perform on the trackpad of the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Apparently this new Trackpad, much larger than previous MacBook Pro models, does not work all the times, but does it sporadically, a problem that has logically filled Apple's support photos with complaints and many others. trying to find a solution to the problem, solution likely to come in the form of a macOS update.

This problem is intermittent and occurs in some parts of the trackpad not all. The first speculations about the origin of the problem is the method used by Apple to detect and remove detection from the palm hand, palm that due to the size of the trackpad we are forced to place above this area.

Moment Apple has neither confirmed nor denied this new problem, which is being detected in some MacBook Pro models, something common in the company. At the moment we do not know if the number of affected is very high, either only a small number of users are well affected but they are making a lot of "noise".
