Touchscreen with silkscreened or stuck on keys.

5$ for a cheap LCD and 20c for stickerkeys with the haptics of a microwave button field.

Fine for Appleusers who dont know what a good keyboard is all about.

"All of the usual caveats about tech parents apply here."

While parents may have a say in this, I doubt that is the proper word in this context.

The Keys will form as needed for the screen/app. So you can change apps, say from a game to excell, and go from something like a gamepad to a 10key on-the-fly.

This technology was debuted several years ago. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to move on it.

This is just one potential next step in the ** of Apple's products.

I'm sure Jony Ive has more immediate ways to further degrade Apple's now-pathetic hardware.

Patent waiting for the tech to be invented so apple can sue them.
