Hidden inside all of the changes that are coming with macOS Sierra are several notable additions to the developer side of things. On Apple’s API differences webpage, you can see several new resources that hint at potential features that could be coming with future Macs, including that OLED touch bar and Touch ID support.

There are a variety of new resources that suggest support for the rumored OLED touch bar. For instance, there is a new “kHIDUsage_LED_DoNotDisturb” reference that seems to hint at a dedicated LED Do Not Disturb button. Currently, Do Not Disturb can be accessed on the Mac from the notifications pane, but with the OLED touch bar would come the ability to have a dedicated touch button for the feature (via MacGeneration).

Apple has also released the iOS 10 beta in the WWDC16. iOS 10 is great and having tons of new exciting great features. If you are an Apple lovers then you should definitely update to iOS 10 beta. iOS 10 beta is released for Developers only. You need to have your UDID registered to an Apple Developer Account to install the iOS 10 beta version on your iPhone now and also get the watchOS 3 beta on your Apple Watch. If you are interested to install the beta versions early then register your iPhone to Apple Developer Program here > for only $15. We will register your udid to our Apple Developer Account and it will give you access to latest iOS 10 beta versions for 1 year ! Great !

Additionally, there are new resources with the “kHIDUsage_LED” title that apply to fast forward, rewind, play, pause, rewind, and power functions, all of which are currently located in the function row of keys, which the touch bar would replace. There’s also an interesting “kHIDUsage_LED_NightMode” resource that could hint at a button that would perhaps enable dark mode, Do Not Disturb, and/or Night Shift on the Mac. In addition to these, there are a lot more new resources that can be seen on Apple’s developer site.



Furthermore in macOS Sierra there are references to biometric input device taps, perhaps again hinting at Apple bringing Touch ID to the Mac. In 2013, an iOS 7 beta contained a hidden biometric resource that hinted at fingerprint recognition coming to the iPhone, and a similar one has now been discovered in Sierra. With Sierra, Apple added a new Auto Unlock functionality that automatically unlocks your Mac if it is in proximity to your iOS device and Apple Watch, but Touch ID would take the ease of unlocking a MacBook to the next level.



Finally, there is also a new resource in OS X Sierra that hints at support for “USB Super Speed+,” which is USB 3.1.

Of course, just because these resources are being added doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re nearing an imminent launch of the new MacBook Pro. But the new resources coupled with last month’s report definitely imply that Apple is planning something for this fall.
