Don't know if any of you guys caught it, but Apple quietly updated MacBook Pro's yesterday. So, the 2019 TouchBar models look like this:
13" Touchbar:
Switched from 2.3GHz 8th-gen 4-core i5 to 2.4GHz 8th-gen 4-core i5
3rd-gen butterfly keyboard updated with new switch materials for increased reliabilty
15" Touchbar:
Base model switched from 2.3GHz 8th-gen 6-core i7 to 2.6GHz 9th-gen 6-core i7
3rd-gen butterfly keyboard updated with new switch materials for increased reliabilty
Premium model switched from 2.6GHz 8th-gen 6-core i7 to 2.3GHZ 9th-gen 8-core i9
3rd-gen butterfly keyboard updated with new switch materials for increased reliability
All other specs appear to be the same.
Also, Apple has extended the keyboard repair program to include all butterfly keyboard models, including the just released 2019 models.
Of note: These models are all firmware-locked to Mac OS 10.14, so if you have to run an older OS you won't want one.
