You know what else does that? A touch screen. Apple seems to be okay with it for the phones/pads. It would also be cheaper (since it's just an overlay on the glass). And the touch area would be the size of the screen that you're looking at, rather than a narrow strip you have to shift your eyes to.

As a professional photographer, there is no way I'd want to be processing images using a fingerprint marked screen.

You can choose not to touch your screen. Also plenty of people are editing images and videos on iPhones and iPads this very minute.

Apple has a trackpad the size of a small screen, it’s also the best trackpad on the market by far. No need for a touch screen - I’ve owned them and find them utterly useless and annoying to try to keep clean.

Apple should make the touch bar larger like Asus had done: https://mashable.com/article/asus-zenbook-pro-duo-dual-scree...
