GettyEarlier this week, Apple quietly announced—via a press release and a conference call with the media—an update to its MacBook Pro notebook line with faster 8th- and 9th-generation Intel Core processors, bringing for the first time eight cores to the MacBook Pro. According to the Cupertino-based company, this "fastest Mac notebook ever" delivers twice the performance over the previous generation quad-core MacBook Pro and 40% more performance than a six-core version. Yet, this kind of performance doesn’t come cheap: The price of the updated 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and 15-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,800 and $2,400 respectively. But here's a clue that even Apple engineers still have no idea that this latest tweak will actually solve the butterfly keyboard issue—probably one of Apple's worst invention. Alongside the announcement of the new MacBook Pro line, Apple also expanded its Keyboard Service Program to all MacBooks with the "butterfly" keyboard, whether the laptop is in or out of warranty.
