Apple says it has fixed the keyboard issue in new MacBook Pro, expands repair program

Apple says that the new MacBook lineup will ship with a new iteration of its butterfly keyboard,  that uses “new materials” in the switch mechanism, which should significantly reduce the occurrence of double and missed key presses. Both MacBook Pro 15-inch and MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar will feature the new keyboard. Apple hasn't elaborated on what these new materials in the new butterfly keyboard are.

Additionally, Apple says that it is expanding its repair program, and will also speed up the repair time. While the new laptops will also be eligible for it, a few newer models that weren’t previously covered will also be able to get repairs. The repair program is free of charge and is applicable to users around the world. You can reach out to Apple or an Apple Authorised Service Provider to avail the program.

Also, as The Verge points out, Apple is not extending how long that program lasts, the eligibility is still “4 years after the first retail sale of the unit”.
