Apple’s latest MacBook Pro refresh once again addresses keyboard issues
Apple doesn't often admit fault, but the quiet launch of a new MacBook Pro model today, alongside an adjustment to the Keyboard Service Program, seems to be the company's way of acknowledging that there's more work to be done to address the butterfly keyboard issues of its laptop line. According to Apple, the keyboard design has been tweaked to reduce double and missed key presses, which users have been complaining about for years.
New materials in the switch mechanism of the keyboard are said to be the solution, and the new design is featured on both the new 15-inch MacBook Pro and 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. But the keyboard design isn't the only thing that changed, as the laptops are now equipped with 8-core Intel Core i8 and i9 processors.
