What if the Touch Bar of the MacBook Pro had been electronic ink?

Apple is one of those companies that has many patents in its possession and one of them is the one shown in the well-known medium AppleInsider where they echo the possibility that Apple had added a Touch Bar with electronic ink in their computers. This patent that can undoubtedly be useful for the rumors that exist today about future Magic Keyboard with Touch Bar, shows us that already in 2013 what we have seen today in the new MacBook Pro was being planned , Yes indeed, with OLED technology as the protagonist.

In principle, we are all quite surprised with this new piece of hardware that accompanies the Pro and few of us waited for the arrival of this OLED touch bar on Macs until the first rumors appeared in the media. This indicates that sometimes these patents can be used to develop other components or similar and take a few years to arrive. We also do not mean to say that having a Touch Bar with electronic ink is the same as the OLED multi-touch screen, but it is actually the same idea or concept.

Now, electronic ink would not be badly implemented in future Apple computers since it adds interesting properties such as better battery management or even the function of hiding the strip itself with the color of the equipment thanks to the bar itself. would adapt to the device, in this case with an OLED strip it is impossible to carry out. In any case we are very satisfied with the implementation of the new OLED Touch Bar on MacBook Pro and hopefully the following devices are Mac or not, add something similar.
