The real reason Apple updated the keyboard on the 2018 MacBook Pro lineup might have just come into view. France's MacGeneration has discovered an internal document that says the new thin layer of silicone under each key wasn't put there to make the keyboard "quieter," as Apple has publicly stated. Instead, it's to solve reliability problems present on previous generations.
Six days after it was first announced, the early 2018 MacBook Pro reviews are now online. Not surprisingly, most reviewers have praised the device for being extremely fast thanks to its all-new six cores. They also like the machine's new True Tone display. Here's a roundup of these early reviews:
Apple's True Tone technology debuted in 2016's 9.7-inch iPad Pro before it got subsequently added to the latest iPhones and pro notebooks. True Tone on 2018's MacBook Pros takes advantage of a multi-channel ambient light sensor found next to the built-in FaceTime camera.
After teasing it over the weekend, iFixit is out with the results of its full teardown of the recently introduced 2018 MacBook Pro. The new laptop is noted for its larger battery, all-new custom T2 chip, and more.

Last week, Apple announced updates to the existing MacBook Pro lineup. With any new product announcement, the website features new hardware with fancy wallpapers. However, Apple rarely includes these wallpapers with any of its software.
Enter AR72014. He is always quick to help the community by working his wallpaper magic. This week, he created three new wallpapers for iPhone, inspired by the MacBook Pro advertising images.
The folks over at iFixit have determined that the keys found on the recently released 2018 MacBook Pro are surrounded by a "thin, silicone barrier." This discovery suggests Apple's third-generation "butterfly switch" keyboard wasn't necessarily designed to be "quieter," like Apple has claimed. Instead, it could have been designed to make it less prone to exposure to dust and other small particles.
