I very much doubt that these changes will stop people worrying about MacBook keyboards, but good that the repair program is expanded.

I also very much wonder what these "new materials" are. Apple wouldn't say. https://t.co/jcdzGmtdif
"Unfortunately, the updated specs — like the 2018 MacBook Pro refresh — are only gracing the company’s Touch Bar models. That means the 13-inch MacBook Pro without a Touch Bar (also known as the “MacBook Escape”) will not get a refresh."

Everyone: Butterfly Macbook keyboards are bad
— nilay patel (@reckless) May 21, 2019
Apple: Here's another generation of them
Everyone: Still bad
Apple: This time they have rubber seals
Everyone: Still bad, maybe it's just a bad design?
Apple: Hm, same design with "new materials" thohttps://t.co/Eku0MEbM53
Apple is promising to fix the MacBook keyboard issues. Again. This time with a new “material.” https://t.co/xJBNSNv0CX

The butterfly keyboard is Apple's Windows Vista, a reputation-destroying slow-motion train wreck.

Discuss.https://t.co/qhB2yrCiIZ
I still don't understand what is so hard about putting out a press release addressing the butterfly keyboard problem, explaining today's half-fix, explaining repair & replacement program, & saying that a redesigned keyboard is in the works. Apple's handling has been infuriating

You know I'm starting to think there might be something not quite right with the overall design of recent MacBook Pros. https://t.co/sq7F3ym2VV

just take the L and bring back the keyboard from the 2013 MacBooks https://t.co/wpia94RYag

MacBook Pro update, with 9th gen Intel 8-core processors in the 15-inch model. Also they tweaked the keyboard again to try and reduce ddouubble and msng keystrokes. Also: Apple has extended the Keyboard Service Program!https://t.co/dkCd2ojXDy

Saying it's a "new keyboard" over and over again but sticking with the same repeatedly flawed design is not going to help assure anyone https://t.co/emJR4OIICu

"To address the problem, Apple said they changed the material in the keyboard’s butterfly mechanism that should substantially reduce problems that some users have seen." TL;DR: we didn't totally fix the keyboard, the next-gen MBP isn't ready yet, and we don't plan to apologize https://t.co/BhktLoWvpc

The reduced repair time and reduced occurrence of keystroke issues don't indicate that Apple has solved their Butterfly Keyboard design flaw
— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) May 21, 2019
I wouldn't take Apple's word for it until someone else tore down the keyboard to show what's been done to solve the root cause https://t.co/et8DQzF0tK

An otherwise unremarkable speed bump to the MacBook Pro line that also updates its keyboard design. Only time will tell if this 4th gen keyboard is better than past versions.

Wasn’t expecting to see this pre-WWDC. Glad to see the further commitment to high end professions and especially love extending the 2018 keyboard coverage.

Not as much as I would love a completely new keyboard though https://t.co/1iHij0QmKc

The thing about these new MacBooks keyboards is you usually want to avoid an act the first time they perform their new material. https://t.co/x78nERVoOo

Point of irony: I wrote this news post while my MacBook Pro keyboard was failing for the second time and injecting spaces and periods I didn't type about twice a sentence. Good times!https://t.co/LITYnVXRuE

First up in pre-WWDC announcements: a new MacBook Pro with a keyboard that’s different, yet the same. As with prior models, only time will tell if Apple’s solved the issue. https://t.co/NbkIG8aY35
