I don't know how far out it would be but with the changes to their keyboard and the addition of their touchbar I wonder if their long term plan is a touch screen in the bottom half to replace the keyboard and pad. Without some kind of tactile interface I hope I'm wrong about my suspicions.

dear God I hope not.

I wouldn't mind if they made the touch pad into a screen. Probably not that useful, but it wouldn't bother me.

You mean like making the laptop LCD a touchscreen?

Like other PC manufacturers have been doing for years?

Ah, but you see when Apple release the iTouch it'll be a whole new paradigm of human-computer interaction! Never before have people been able to control their computers by touching the screens!

… or that's what the fanboys will think.
