Apple does not inspire much confidence in its refreshed 2018 MacBook Pro. Its 6-core Intel processor variant exhibits performance issues related to regulation In some cases, its predecessor in 2017 with less than processor cores outperformed it, whereas there is this drama on its 3rd generation butterfly keyboard. light illustrating what could disrupt many users: if the motherboard of the laptop breaks, recovery of data from the internal storage drive is impossible.

Beginning of the major redesign The SSD of the system was soldered directly to the logic board, which meant that the average user could not simply remove the drive and restore the data on a different system.and Apple had of course a solution for that: a restore port on the logic board itself, which a Genius Bar representative could use with a "client data migration tool" to recover disk data.
iFixit first observed the removal of this recovery port in this year's model. Its absence is probably due to the (well-received) inclusion of Apple's T2 chip that facilitates storage encryption at the hardware level.
Once this was discovered, MacRumors went in search of information about the ramifications of system failure with the 2018 MacBook Pro. Talking to Several People at Apple Authorized Service Providers, the site came out with a clear conclusion. If the logic board fails and the system is inoperative, data recovery by Apple is not possible. MacRumors also notes that the aforementioned migration tool has not been updated to work with this year's model.
MacRumors went further and obtained the Apple MacBook Pro 2018 Service Readiness Guide, which tells techs to urge their company's data using Time Machine. These are good tips, and I can not imagine that creative professionals regularly archive their files on the outside.
But not everyone is disciplined, and those who do are may not be doing daily backups. Beyond that, not everyone is close to a 24/7 backup solution. I have to imagine that there are scenarios where things can go disastrously that are not resolved by scheduled Time Machine or Cloud backups. For example, if your MacBook Pro 2018 decides to abandon the ghost for a long rendering job or other tasks requiring a lot of data. Unless you make simultaneous live backups, these data are gone. For some people, this could result in the loss of a few hours of time or creative work. For others, the ramifications could be more severe.
Personally, I do not dispute the direction of Apple here. The inclusion of the custom T2 chip and hardware level storage encryption was necessary (agree, and "Hey Siri" was long overdue). I do not agree with the company that does not make this discreet change (the removal of the data recovery port) abundantly clear to its customers. Dedicated Apple users can be blinded by this. Especially customers who understood that data recovery was possible with the two previous generations of MacBook Pro. This may not affect many people, but it is not the goal. The problem is Apple's philosophy of keeping quiet about changes like this until external forces bring them to light.
Or, you know, saying things like "You're wrong."
