The Flexbar resurrects the MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar as a standalone device


Was the Touch Bar an idea that deserves another chance?

They’ve created the Flexbar, which is essentially a standalone version of the MBP’s thin touchscreen display that can be used with multiple devices and platforms through a USB connection. The company told The Verge it was sourcing “components through standard supply channels,” but didn’t confirm where the Flexbar’s uniquely-sized 10-inch 2K OLED screen was coming from. Like Apple’s Touch Bar, the Flexbar provides dynamic access to user interface elements like shortcuts, playback controls, and various tools, which change automatically as you switch between apps.
