While Apple has offered to fix any affected keyboards for free for the next several years, the new MacBook Pro appears to be its first attempt at a design-based fix. While Apple has previously downplayed the extent of the problem, it’s pervasive enough to have inspired three class action lawsuits, and prompted a rare acknowledgement from Cupertino last month that something is amiss. Debris gets under the keyboard and has no way to get out again, resulting in unresponsive keys. But a detailed teardown completed by repair site iFixit Thursday shows a much more likely catalyst: keeping out dust and other particles, so that the keyboard won’t break.Īpple’s previous keyboard design (found on MacBooks dating back to 2015 and MacBook Pros from 2016 until this most recent version) has been prone to key failure.
