The Touch Bar of the new MacBook Pro is manufactured by Samsung

Moments before the end of the provision of last October 27 in which Apple presented the new MacBook Pro, Tim Cook announced the availability of the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (since he also launched a model without it), and whose availability would be two to three weeks, a period that has already increased as early users have already begun to reserve these models, despite the price increase that this new generation of MacBook Pro represents. A large part of the conference focused on the Touch Bar, the main aesthetic novelty that Apple presented in this long-awaited renovation, Touch Bar that came with the hand of a Touch ID, which allows us to quickly identify ourselves when logging in and making payments with Apple Pay.

This OLED panel dubbed Touch Bar is three times thinner than a conventional LCD screenHence, Apple has been able to place it on top of the keyboard. Currently Apple only uses OLED screen in the Apple Watch and now in the Touch Bar, but it is expected that the Cupertino-based company will expand the number of devices with this technology with the launch of the iPhone 8. The manufacture of this screen would be in charge Samsung or LG, although the former SHARP (now owned by Foxconn) could also enter the bid.

But the Apple idea goes further too you want to use OLED displays on MacBooks, but at the moment we don't know when the implementation is planned. According to a source has published ETNews, a Korean publication, Samsung in addition to manufacturing the Touch Bar of the new MacBook Pro could also be responsible for the manufacture of the OLED screens of future MacBook, since it is currently conducting performance and energy consumption tests.
