Apple officially announced WWDC 2018 for June 4th through June 8th this week, with the conference taking place at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.
MacBook Pro with touchbar 2018 submitted 1 year ago by Marcy161 Hey guys I'm planning on buying a MacBook next year and I was wondering what changes will come for next years MacBook pros. Apple and their latest obsession with fluid dynamics. Probably a way of saying 'hey this really is a pro machine, see, you can do fluid dynamics on it (and fry some eggs on your pro machine while the CPU does all this for you). Gian July 18, 2018 Mac 3 Comments Apple refreshed the MacBook Pro lineup a few days ago. Apart from new hardware, these machines also come with stunning new abstract wallpapers. 2018 MacBook Pro Review The author, Craig Hunter, is an aerospace engineer at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Apple sent him a 2018, 15-inch MacBook Pro.
As is the case every year, Apple used some pretty neat graphics to announce the conference. Now, designer Martin Hajek has created a set of 16 wallpapers inspired by the WWDC artwork…
Hajek has taken the WWDC invite from Apple and turned it into 3D, showcasing the WWDC logo and icons from various different angles. He’s also given some of the wallpapers a few different color shades, including red, space gray, gold, teal, and black.
Hajek’s wallpapers are in crisp 4K resolution for your desktop, but if you’re looking for versions optimized for iPhone, have no fear.
iCulture offers a range of WWDC-inspired artwork for every iPhone model, including versions with and without the WWDC branding. There’s also a “dark mode” version made just for the iPhone X’s OLED display.

WWDC this year will likely see the announcement of iOS 12, watchOS 5, macOS 10.14, and tvOS 12. You can read our full hardware and software roundups for everything to expect at WWDC and beyond this year. Also be sure to let us know what you’re most excited to see in our WWDC 2018 poll.
Hajek is offering his wallpapers as free downloads from his webshop, while you can check out the iPhone-optimized over at iCulture for free. Do you think this year’s invite artwork offers any hints as to what we could see at WWDC? Let us know down in the comments!
Apple’s latest MacBook Pro machines - announced on Friday - come with Cupertino's third-generation butterfly keyboard. Underneath the keycaps is a design change that is sure to spark a lot of discussions.
MacBook Pro, mid-2018 (Apple PR)
Apple notes that the new butterfly keyboard on the ‘mid-2018 MacBook Pro machines’ retains the same amount of vertical travel’ while providing a quieter typing experience. That makes for great copy and of course, continues to advance the point of Apple’s continual improvements, but there may be a very useful side-effect to the tweak to the keyboard design.
The silicone cover over each butterfly switch reduces the chance of any dust getting trapped in the mechanism. Given the issues that Apple has faced over the faulty keyboards - with long-term Apple watcher Jon Gruber calling the butterfly keyboard ‘Apple’s biggest screw-up’ - action to change the construction was to be expected.
In fact, the silicone cover technique on show was something I highlighted as an option in March, when the USPTO published an Apple patent for ‘Ingress Prevention For Keyboards’. The patent talks about...
Keyboards include mechanisms that prevent and/or alleviate contaminant ingress… In other embodiments, a keyboard includes a base; a web that defines apertures; keys moveably coupled to the base within the apertures; and a gasket coupled to the keys, the gasket fixed between the web and the base, operable to block passage of contaminants into the apertures.
I can’t see anything about reducing noise levels in this patent, and it looks remarkably close to what the teardown team at iFixit has discovered about the changes:
Here’s the really good part: I can tell you it’s there, but I can’t definitively prove it’s a reliability fix. After all, Apple told The Verge that “this new third-generation keyboard wasn’t designed to solve those [dust] issues.”
Apple is in the middle of several class-action lawsuits for the failure of their keyboards, so of course they can’t just come out and say, “Hey, we fixed it!” That says there was a problem to begin with. But you’ve heard that clever analysis from John Gruber already. I’m just here to posit: the advertised boost in quietude is a side-effect of this rubbery membrane. The quiet angle is, quite literally, a cover up.
The question now is if this will reduce the number of damaged keyboards in the new machines. And I wonder if any repairs to older MacBook Pro keyboards will incorporate this new technology?
