Apple once again breaks hearts by removing escape key
Apple has again mustered up the "courage" to toy with our emotions.
Prior to Apple's MacBook Pro event on Thursday, MacRumors reported a new update to macOS Sierra, which contained an image of a new MacBook Pro. The photo shows the device with speakers next to the keyboard and a brand new touch panel that appears to replace the function, escape and power keys.
Just as people were starting to accept the tragic loss of the beloved iPhone headphone jack, Apple goes and takes away the escape key. Needless to say, people got very emotional about this decision.
