Apple MacBook Pro and Air arriving in Q2 with Magic Keyboard: scissor switch

Apple will launch new models of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air in the second quarter of 2020, that is between April and June: these are the latest predictions of the well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo by TF Securities. According to Kuo, the main change will be the transition to scissor switch in the keyboard, thus distancing itself further from the controversial butterfly system adopted in recent years.

With the Magic Keyboard, the 16 "MacBook Pro released a few months ago was the first laptop to return to the scissor system, after three generations of butterfly switches that, regardless of the reliability problems more or less solved in the iteration more recently, they have not fully convinced everyone from the point of view of the feeling and the pleasure of typing. It is interesting to note that, close to the release of MBP 16, in an interview Phil Schiller spoke of Apple's willingness to carry on both mechanisms; the most obvious assumption was scissor = MBP and butterfly = MBA, but Kuo's predictions seem to suggest otherwise.

No other details were shared on the laptops. MacBook Pro will likely be 14 ", replacing the current model from 13 – but maintaining overall dimensions substantially unchanged thanks to much thinner bezels. After all, the MBP 16 also replaces a 15 "one.
