The keyboard of the new MacBook Pro would avoid sticky keys: report

Apple explicitly explained to CNET that even though his MacBook Pro 2018 comes with a new third generation keyboard, he did not make any new engineering or adjustments to avoid the " "dreaded" hot key that caused multiple requests and a free repair program by Apple.

But the gadget repair site iFixit has proof that Apple may have solved the problem quietly. It turns out that the keyboard of the new MacBook Pro has a new and thin silicone membrane on the mechanism that seems designed to protect the delicate mechanical parts of the powder. Apple indeed, has a patent called "Income Protection Keyboards", which would be related to this novelty.

(Income protection is a phrase of the industry, which means that "keeps dust and / or water away" – when Apple says that your iPhone 8 has an IP67 resistance, it means that he is protected against this type of

Officially, Apple has only said that the keyboard is now quieter, but iFixit thinks it's a way to cover novelty, to more and more. a title, because the keyboard is now literally covered with a silicone membrane

As some experts point out, Apple will not admit that it has corrected the keyboard of the MacBook Pro, as this would admit that his laptop had a problem and this is not the style of Apple, moreover, it could be particularly dangerous when the company is

Notice, this does not explain why Apple would take the trouble to tell reporters like us that the keyboard has not been improved Perhaps the company is not sure that this improvement will really solve the problem, and prefers to remain silent.

That could also explain why Apple was reluctant to include the membrane up to now, while, as Nilay Patel points out from The Verge, Apple's idea came to him before a MacBook Pro-throttle keyboard is commercialized

This patent application was filed in 2016, which means that the technology was developed even earlier. If that's the solution, I wonder why two generations of this keyboard are delivered without it. https://t.co/C39R0IJUVd
