And one of my least favorite Apple advance is the touchbar. I hear it may go away. Here's how my pet peeve plays out. Say you're listening to music on your MBP. A call comes in on your phone. You need to turn down the music. On my 2015 MBP the mute and up/down volume buttons are visible and in the same place they always are. One-click and we're done. With a touchbar you have to click the touchbar's volume control icon, then pull the volume slider up or down. The benefits of the touchbar have never added up to this moving and random interface problem. I hear Apple is considering ditching the touchbar.
