- Depending on which keyboard you have, it may be F12 or it may be Eject. Or it may be the power button (some keyboards allow the power button to act as the eject key). If you have one of the Late 2016 Macbook Pro w/Touch Bar models, I have no idea what key you would use, as that Mac does not have F-keys, nor eject.
- When Apple first unveiled its 2016 MacBook Pro featuring an innovative new OLED Touch Bar with Touch ID functionality, there had been a great deal of speculation as to whether or not the company.

With the launch of its latest Macbook Pro last year, Apple welcomed the functionality of Touch Bar and Touch Id within its range of next-gen laptops. But the implementation of the same in its PC was still under the hud of curiosity. Well, Apple may have now been all set to turn it into a reality with its upcoming version of Magic Keyboards, as a new patent from the company's end was headed to an approving authority which exactly surfaced the similar features of a Touch Bar on a standalone keyboard.
According to Apple Insider, the above-mentioned patent was seen in three instances with code numbers: 20170090596, 20170090597, and 20170090654 at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. All the three patent applications were identified as 'Keyboard with Adaptive Input Row.' Moreover, all the three instances addressed Apple's Touch Bar and regarded it as a compact panel equipped with 'extra commands' which the users can trigger or utilize, as an easy way to manage tasks. This indication has literally clarified Apple's real intention to equip it much admired Touch Bar and Touch ID support on its Magic Keyboard.
That's because this is Apple's Magic Keyboard, a design first seen in the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro and based on the standalone Magic Keyboard for the iMac ($1,351 at Back Market).It's a big.
However, as per a report by 9to5 Mac, it is still pretty early to think that Apple's next installment of Magic Keyboard would boast a Touch Bar interface in reality. The patent has just been headed to the patent authority of the United States for approval. It would approximately require some more time to be implemented technically. While assessed on all the terms of usability, it is true that many sectors running various operations would be immensely assisted with this new utility.
Therefore, it is highly expected that Apple would be considering to implement this technology as early as possible with its new range of Magic Keyboards. Although, it is still unknown whether the tech giant would attempt to revise the name of this alleged Touch Bar based keyboard with something more creative.All these thoughts and speculations can only be confirmed as soon as Apple reveals any official take on it.
Apple Magic Keyboard 2 has been available since October 2015 and it would be time for a new generation, the Apple Magic Keyboard 3, but this is exactly where the speculation about the design and functionality of the Apple keyboard comes up again. It is also questionable whether Apple will also introduce Apple Magic Keyboard 3 in October for the release of a new Mac Pro or MacBook Pro 2018.
The changing generations of the Apple Magic Keyboard
As many of you probably don't know, the Apple Magic Keyboard is already in its 3rd generation. The Apple Wireless Keyboard was introduced at Apple Expo in September 2003. Png image editor software. Back then, with a plastic case, ergonomic U-shape and 4 AA batteries, you could use the keyboard wirelessly on your Mac.
After Apple presented the first Apple iPhone in January 2007, the new Apple Magic Keyboard followed in August 2007. Just like the wired Apple keyboard, the wireless version A1255 now uses an aluminum case. However, the number pad has now disappeared just like a battery, since the keyboard only needs 3 AA batteries. Unlike its predecessor, the Apple Magic Keyboard also has a new keyboard layout. The new design has the still current function keys, as well as the media and dashboard controls.
Apple Magic Keyboard Compatibility
In October 2009 the update of the 2nd generation, the version A1314 followed, although nothing has been changed in the design, the keyboard only needs 2 AA batteries. At the same time, the A1314 version is probably Apple's best-known.
As a lot has changed in the Apple cosmos since 2009, it was time for another innovation in October 2015. As a result, the current version is called A1644 or simply Apple Magic Keyboard 2, but here the changes to the predecessor were not only noticeable, but also visible. The Apple Magic Keyboard 2 now charges with a Lightning cable and has a lithium-ion battery instead of replaceable batteries. In addition, the design has changed fundamentally, the keyboard has become thinner and smaller, but the weight was more than tripled. Furthermore, the F and Left & Right Arrow keys have been enlarged. The biggest innovation is the reduced keystroke of the Apple Magic Keyboard 2, which according to Apple is supposed to make the keys 33% more stable and provide an improved and faster typing feel.

Apple Magic Keyboard 3 – What can we expect?
Apple Touch Bar Magic Keyboard Keys
Due to the history of the Apple keyboard a release in October 2018 or 2019 could be possible. This would also be very realistic, as a product update from 2018 could be overdue and make sense as well. Apple's touch bar has been available in the MacBook Pro since 2016. As a result, it would be useful to be able to use the functions of the touch bar in stationary operation, as well as on an iMac or Mac Pro. Therefore, the dimensions would probably be slightly larger. Furthermore, Apple could use an improved version of the Butterfly layout known from the MacBook on the Apple Magic Keyboard 3.
