The butterfly machine that Apple removed from its bag in 2016 when it launched the new MacBook Pro has given Apple so many problems that it decided discard it and return to the traditional culture, a way as they say from DigiTimes could reach the new generation of Smart Keyboard.
It seems that Cupertino guys want to improve user experience when using an external keyboard with launch of scissors machine For the next generation Smart Keyboard could be the solution.
The problem is that the same thickness will increase unless Apple works in a way to reduce it and the final size increases by a few millimeters. This information compare what Ming Chi-Kuo published last summer and where he said Apple's keyboard would use rubber construction instead of a rotation of scissors by 2020-21.
The same publication means that this new keyboard can be back. If we add, eventually the price of the Smart keyboard that reaches the market and the new generation of the iPad Pro, can be much more expensive than what we currently have in the market.
The price of the 12.9-inch Smart Keyboard Folio is iPad Pro at 12.9 inches, while the 11-inch iPad model stands at 199 euros. DigiTimes says in the same article that a 13-inch MacBook Pro with a scissor keyboard will hit the market in the first half of 2020. Today, the only MacBook with a scissor keyboard is the 16-inch model introduced in November last year.
