Dan Pražák According to the information so far, the 16-inch Macbook Pro was supposed to be presented in October. But it seems that in the end it will bring less news than originally expected. One of them will be a redesigned Touch Bar, from which Touch ID should be completely separate. This is confirmed by the latest screenshot discovered in macOS 10.15.1 by developer Guilherme Rambo from the North 9to5mac.
Less than two weeks ago found by the developers in macOS 10.15.1 beta version 16″ MacBook Pro icon in silver design. She indicated that the new model will bring slightly thinner frames around the display and also a slightly wider chassis. The more observant could then notice certain changes in the keyboard area, specifically the separate Touch ID and Escape key from the Touch Bar. A new image, capturing the sixteen-inch MacBook Pro from above, confirms this information.
Separating Espace and moving it to a physical key is definitely a welcome move. Many users have complaints about its virtual appearance on the Touch Bar. To maintain symmetry, it also makes sense to separate the power button with Touch ID. The Touch Bar will thus become a separate element, and it can be expected that the upcoming 13″ MacBook Pros will also switch to the same layout.

The new 16-inch MacBook Pro was originally supposed to make its debut in October. As the end of the month approaches, however, rumors begin to appear that Apple has postponed its premiere. Whether the laptop will be shown later this year remains a question for now. It may end up being the first laptop from Apple with a new type of scissor keyboard, which the Cupertino company wants to switch to from problematic keyboards with a butterfly mechanism.
