Even if Apple were able to turn out a perfectly reliable butterfly keyboard with decent key travel and quiet clacking, nobody would trust it. Perhaps it is, but hardware design has to take culture into account as much as it does engineering. Inside Apple, I am sure there are engineers who still believe that the butterfly keyboard is fixable. I use a utility called Pock to put my Mac’s dock there instead of the default, but even that doesn’t make the Touch Bar a must-have for me. But in general, it’s less useful to me than a row of function keys.
Apple believes in it, and there is still potential there. That’s probably because, like most people, the Touch Bar is something I endure instead of something I enjoy. The physical Esc key shortens the Touch Bar up a bit, but I haven’t noticed any problems stemming from the lost length. The touch bar is something I endure instead of enjoy But the keyboard and the thermals are the big updates that show Apple is willing to look back in order to move forward. There are a few other notable updates compared to the 15-inch model - including, yes, the namesake for the laptop itself, the 16-inch screen.

It also brought back a physical Esc key and most pro users’ preferred arrow key layout.
Apple also altered how the laptop dissipates heat, allowing the processor to run faster and more predictably. Thankfully, Apple did the right thing: it went back to a more traditional keyboard design.īut Apple’s backtrack on the keyboard isn’t the only accommodation it has made to answer complaints about its MacBook line. The tide definitively turned against Apple’s butterfly keyboard design in the past year, thanks in large part to persistent reporting from Casey Johnston and Joanna Stern, and Apple had to do something. If Apple did nothing else, that one thing makes the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro better than its predecessor and any other MacBook you can buy right now.
