Last year, Touch Bar was the first to feature in the new flagship of MacBook Pro that replaces the F-keys with an OLED panel display strip. Now, a new patent released on Thursday that Apple will be creating a Magic Keyboard that uses a Touch Bar to its upcoming MacBook Pro and another keyboard accessory.

According to Digital Trends, Apple has been interested in making keyboard which features a Touch Bar since 2016. In a new patent that was submitted by Apple, it suggests that there are three patent applications that are identified as a "Keyboard with Adaptive Input Row." This means that Magic Keyboard will be fitted with Apple's Touch Bar as a stand-alone keyboard, which will wear an OLED.

Apple's Touch Bar offers a quick access to its function that is provided by the applications and the system, it also allows that users use its benefits. For now, Apple's Touch Bar will only be exclusively accessible to MacBook Pro line. The main interface is split into three specific categories: the area of the app controls, Control Strip, and a system button.

Since Apple's Touch Bar will replace the functional keys, 9to5Mac reported that the Apple's Touch bar will have a 10-point multitouch touch screen that is placed at the top portion of the keyboard, which has the same size as the functional keys. It has a display of 2170 x 60 pixels with a custom T1 chip to power the Touch ID and Apple Pay features. It also has a 2x Retina display with a P3 wide color space support that is similar to the primary MacBook Pro display.

The Apple's Touch Bar is also supported by an API for its third-party developers to create unique controls to satisfy users needs. Apple's Touch Bar is not the only place to be able to perform a feature of an app but also an additive improvement with a bit of 3D Touch and Pop on the iPhone. So far, only MacBook Pro will have the access to the Touch Bar, and soon will also be featured on the Magic Keyboard
