I am interested in buying a new MacBook Pro but all the updated versions out now do not have the Touch Bar. My current MacBook has it and I love it very much. Do we know if it will ever make a comeback? I do not want to purchase a new computer if it has a chance of coming back. Thanks.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6
I am a touchbar addict. Without it every Mac looks and feels incomplete. I would love the 14, 15 and 16 variants of Mac to have the Touch Bar. The only reason I have not purchased the new ones till date and still using my 2016 Touch Bar version. And Apple is right now forcing people to buy the new mac's by dropping support for the 2016 dec variants after Monterey. Apple should know that people once used to the Touch Bar won't opt for lame buttons only keyboards layouts

I agree, But that is not because we are insensitive, but because Readers here are helpless to change the situation for you. We can make the computer you want appear out of thin air.
Exactly. I still haven't quite found a way of phrasing that properly.
the touch bar macbook pro is completely discontinued. and even if you found a country with a page for the last touch bar macbook pro, you cant buy it if youre not in that country. to read about it, use the internet archive link i posted and if you want one get a refurbished or secondhand one
Touch Bar is available on the current 13-in models of MacBook Pro.

There appears to be a 13" M2 MBP with the TouchBar
this page has been updated and now shows the new m3 macbook pro with no touch bar
Wouldn't matter to me if it did unless it wasn't capable of being left off the order
The 13" M2 MacBook Pro – which is very similar to the 13" M2 MacBook Air – has a Touch Bar. It doesn't have the MagSafe 3 port that that Apple added to the M2 MacBook Air.
If you REALLY like the Touch Bar, perhaps you would like using an iPad sidecar device with Apple Pencil as well.
Maybe you need a box of crayons instead. Everyone has their own taste profile I personally love having the touchbar so kindly chill out and be more respectful
Looks like instead of coming back, it has just gone away. Check out the replacement of the 13” MBP based on the ‘base’ M2 chip with a variant of the 14” MBP based on the ‘base’ M3 chip.
Wait were you being serious in your comment on using an Apple Pencil and sidecar?
Yes, iPad and Apple Pencil is a serious suggestion.
That is the way forward that Apple is supporting.

I didn't make a comment about the Apple Pencil and Sidecar.
I believe the OP's initial question's been answered, so I think I'm going to leave it at that.

Some of the early MacBook Pros that had the Touch Bar were high-spec models.
I got one, 2018 15" MBP, made in April 2019. Still high-end. 👌
Will the touch bar ever come back?
