Famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted some of the best potential MacBooks news in years: Starting in mid-2020, all MacBook models will use traditional scissor switches on their keyboards.
Of course, the famous 16-inch MacBook Pro is expected to take the lead by ditching the controversial Butterfly keyboard design in favor of a more traditional scissor-shifting method.
Thanks to Kuo, and first reported by MacRumors, we can now expect the same improvement to be made to the rest of Apple's range of laptops in mid-2020.
Old design, better reliability
It is widely accepted that Apple's Butterfly keyboard switches have been designed to allow the use of thinner and lighter notebooks than before. This was true, as evidenced by the 12-inch MacBook released in 2015.
However, it soon became clear that these new switches were more likely to fail due to exposure to dust and other particles, resulting in key locks or simply the presence of other keys. absence of registration of the presses. As a result, this story has dragged on for years on Apple laptops.
Apple is currently running a fairly generous product replacement program for MacBooks with faulty Butterfly keyboards, but writing this design is on the wall for quite some time.
So we wait for the imminent launch of the seemingly imminent 16-inch MacBook Pro, but also all future versions of the MacBook, out of breath.
