Many times if you go to the Apple store they will accept returns even out of the regular return window.
Yeah its another pointless update, the cpus now are fast enough, they need to innovate more
...you'll be waiting for a very long time. I expect a redesign in next year or so, but I'd bet my right nut the touchbar aint going away.
Oh I'll definitely wait. Apple used to be my go to brand I didn't have to do that with but now I'm hesitant. They've burned me enough times, much like 343/Halo I wait to see what the release looks like first now
May even wait for the refurb model of it, seems like those are on the store much faster these days.If you purchased at an Apple Store, they will almost certainly still let you return and swap to a new one. This happened constantly when I worked there years ago. Managers are pretty good about this type of stuff.
Honestly the idea and keyboard isn't bad if it just worked. The problem I see more now is just the stigma attached to it, you ain't redesigning that.
It's funny there's still people pretending there's no issue, despite constant changes to the keyboard and repair programs from Apple. Sure, they're doing all that because nothing's wrong.
Also kind of scary that they have already added the 2019 MBP to the keyboard repair program. That gives you confidence!!

Every generation they say they fix the keyboard..Just redesign the damn thing!
Damn. I really need a new mbp, but was really hoping for a redesign to signify a real fix for the keyboard issue. I’m gonna hold out until wwdc, but I’m already feeling bad about the cash I’m gonna have to drop on this.
A bit disappointed to see this less than a week after I took the plunge on a 15" MacBook Pro, haha. I'm still in my return window, but I think I'll just keep what I have. The processor is already fine for what I need, and I'm mostly just happy knowing that if my keyboard goes out, I'll get the newer one that's likely free from failure.
Overall, I've been very impressed with the upgrade from my 2015 13". I'm primarily using mine as the brains of my home recording studio, so it stays stationary and is used with a Magic Mouse and Keyboard 75% of the time.

Check out this thread in the MBP section. It's 80 pages of keyboard complaints with lots of people personally describing how their keyboard failed.
Unless you really believe that the people are lying ?
You have never even owned one. So you can hardly speak from experience. Right???
"I myself hate typing on the butterfly keyboard enough to avoid it in the first place, but even if I didn't, I wouldn't spend money on one these things."
Might be worth taking it in and asking if they will swap for you. I have read on here of others having good luck with that when a new model comes close to the return date.
OMG lol.. WOW.
This should almost be front page news.
Apple announces new Laptops, New Models Eligible for Keyboard Repair Before they Hit Stores
Translation - yesterday they came running to Tim's office and said "there's no way the 16-inch will be ready in time for this year." Of course, you never know - this might just be a speed bump with a real upgrade in October.
Really great that Macbook Pros are getting more and more powerful and all, but dammit I want a 15" Macbook Air. That 15" screen, but with the CPU/memory/drive options of the Air. Come on! Pleeeeeeaaaaaase.
