Apple finally gives surprise to its Pro user by the introduction of its latest MacBook Pro 16-inch, and this time, it seems that Apple starts listening to complain as well. MacBook Pro 16-inch will replace the 15-inch 2019 MacBook Pro from onwards while there are many catches between these two devices which really changes Pro perspective toward Apple MacBook. Apple has already provided MacBook Pro to tech reviewers earlier than its announcements to test out its new features. So let’s breakdown its all interesting features one by one.
Finally “Butterfly” switched into “Scissor”
One of the most concerning facts which Apple faces from last 4 years is that Apple’s Butterfly Mechanisms after it’s fourth iteration Butterfly still not able to finds stability as MacBook user faces issues like Sticky keys, non-responsive keys or dead keys while using their MacBook which made user experience really bad. To compensate this issue Apple offers 3 years repair program of all MacBook’s models from 2015 to 2019 which features the Butterfly Keyboard.
Apple finally listens to its users and change Butterfly Mechanisms back to Scissor Mechanism which they introduced in the 2015 MacBook Pro. Scissor Mechanism adds more stability, Apple also updates some features like Quitter typing as compared with Magic keyboard, Apple named this keyboard as Magic Keyboard same as an external keyboard that Apple offers.
Dedicated “Esc” and TouchID buttons
Apple made some gap between TouchBar and Touch ID, and also added as physical ESC key rather than soft key inside TouchBar, as this feature is requested by the developer so that they can use full feature of macOS because Apple hides ESC key when the user running different apps which creates a confusing experience for users.
Better and louder sound experience
Sound on MacBook is still louder than any laptops in industry, but Apple tries to take this level a little bit higher with 16-inch MacBook Pro so Apple has added 6 speakers along with 2 woofers to provide force sound cancellation, this combination of the sound set will really rock you up. By adding these sound characteristics to MacBook Pro Apple also gains support for Dolby Atmos playback.
In terms of recording, Apple added a Studio-quality microphone for Podcaster so that it can record high-quality content from its MacBook Pro. Now Microphone also features noise cancellation which allows the user to record amazing sound on their MacBook.

Apple trims down the bezel of the device which allows them to pushed towards a 16-inch display in a similar form factor. Apple not offering a micro-LED display because it may jump the price of MacBook Pro to skies as this LED display still offering P3 Wide color GAMUT support.
More Powerful
Apple finally obsoletes its 256GB version in 16-inch MacBook Pro which is a fairly good choice, now the base storage starts with 512GB and reaches up-to 8TB which sounds really insane but Pro user might need for many professional activities.
MacBook Pro also offers base model featuring Intel’s 9th Gen. Core i7 6-core CPU clocks at 2.6Ghz and Boosts up to 4.5Ghz user can upgrade to Intel’s 9th Gen. Core i9 8-core CPU clocks at 2.4Ghz and Boosts up to 5.0Ghz, this high processing power will surely provide MacBook Pro to achieve significantly better performance as compared with 15-inch MacBook Pro 2019.
The memory of 16-inch MacBook Pro also starts from 16GB clocked at 2666Mhz user can swap up to 64GB memory clocked at 2666Mhz. This allows the user to perform more multitasking and heavier usages toward applications.
