The pressure sensitive trackpad has been a home run, nobody has better trackpads. Period.

But yeah the touchbar was pretty meh and poorly supported and ended up being half baked in the long run.

I love the pressure sensitive trackpad but my mom always complains when the force-click pop up appears when she tries to click normally but presses too hard. I’m pretty sure most users don’t take advantage of it.

A related feature was pressure sensitivity in their phones, which the removed because most users weren’t using it.

They really need to ship with the optional “bottom right corner is right click” as default, especially when I believe most people are conditioned to that. Fixes the accidental force-click pop ups imo.
