Analysts say Apple will eventually abandon the butterfly keyboard design on the MacBook platform

In recent years, Apple has adopted a butterfly keyboard design to replace the previous design. This butterfly keyboard design has poor ease of use. Apple has not publicly acknowledged the design mistakes of the butterfly keyboard. In fact, Apple is actively adjusting but it does not seem to have much effect.

After several iterations, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released the latest report saying that the company will abandon this plan regardless of whether Apple admits the mistake. Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple is designing a new scissor-switch keyboard for the MacBook platform, which is designed to use glass fiber to strengthen the keys on the keyboard.

The new scissor keyboard will provide longer button travel and durability, but this will be slightly thicker than the butterfly keyboard design but the user should not be aware of the changes. The scissor keyboard design on the process may also be cheaper than the butterfly keyboard design, and it is expected that Apple will replace the old version with the new one from this year. Among them, the MacBook Air 2019 may be the latest equipped with a scissor keyboard, and the new MacBook Pro version will adopt a new design next year.
