There is not much else changed in the new MacBook Pros with the same graphics, Retina display, SSDs, the Apple T2 Security Chip, all-day battery life and including macOS Mojave.

Although not mentioned in Apple’s press release The Loop has confirmed that the new laptops include an updated version of the problematic butterfly keyboard.

Another change in the newest MacBook Pro computers is with the keyboard. While Apple says the vast majority of its customers are happy with the keyboard, they do take customer complaints seriously, and work to fix any issues. 

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.
