Title
MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar 2018 Teardown
Introduction
ICYMI, Apple’s having a midsummer’s nightmare:
* '''June 22''': Apple announced a free keyboard replacement program after mounting pressure from a ++class-action lawsuit++ over the faulty design of the butterfly keyboard in Macbook Pros.
* '''July 12''': Apple ++quietly discontinued the 2015 MacBook Pro++ after a three-year run—which means every laptop in their Pro lineup comes equipped with the controversial butterfly keyboard.
* '''July 13''': Apple launched the new MacBook Pro and carefully mentioned that its third-generation keyboard was re-engineered purely for ''quietude''. We found a ++silicone membrane++under each key cap, seemingly designed to prevent the ingress failures we keep hearing about. And then we found a ++patent++ to prove it—from 2016.
* July 16: We teardown the MacBook Pro 15” Touchbar 2018 and score it a 1.
