The last? The end of butterfly keyboards of Apple, a technology that has brought nothing but problems to the company and that could have its days numbered.
fiberglass butterflies
The details of the report suggest that the butterfly mechanism that made it possible to reduce the height of the MacBook keys It will finally be replaced by a new scissor system based on fiberglass elements that allow for better resistance over time. Butterfly keyboards made it possible to improve the design of the equipment with a really reduced thickness, however, over time it was found that the system did not resist dust, dirt and intensive use, since many users ended up reporting the problems that played on their computers.
Faced with this situation, Apple was forced to open a replacement program that would allow the equipment to be fixed at no cost, however, distrust in the product is still present, since even the newly launched MacBook Pros were included in the replacement program. repairs from the first day they were available, something that did not convince users.

New MacBook Air with new keyboard
Juo's report claims that a new MacBook Air It will arrive this year with the new keyboard based on scissor mechanisms made of fiberglass. Curiously, the report does not relate that the change of mechanism is due to the poor performance offered, but rather because of the costs involved in creating the butterfly system, something that will become cheaper with the new keyboard.

The bad news is that neither the rumored 16-inch MacBook Pro What is expected for the month of September or the next 13-inch MacBook Pro upgrade They will include this new keyboard, so we will have to wait until 2020 to be able to get a Pro model with the new technology based on fiberglass, something that will certainly dissatisfy all those who are aware of this rumor.
