  1. You know, the “Cancel” button is kinda like an ESC key. Everyone’s proclaiming the end of the world without knowing if the ESC key is there or not.

    The whole purpose of the SmartBar is that it changes based upon the current situation, so if the user wasn’t making a purchase asking for TouchID, what would the bar display? Maybe an ESC Key in place of the Cancel button?

  2. Still don’t get this. Why do people think there won’t be a mode where the esc amd fn keys are all there? So confused.

  3. This is so annoying. Every time Apple is releasing something new, first thing what most “Techies” do today: COMPLAINING
    USB-C (MacBook), butterfly-keyboard, AirPods, headphone jack, ESC-key and so on ..

    But most of them didn’t had the chance to try it. And I’m asking: HOW DO YOU KNOW IT?
