Apple has finally revealed the 16-inch MacBook Pro and one of the main things that set it apart from its 15-inch predecessor is a redesigned keyboard with rubber domes under the keys for enhanced durability. The Touch Bar has also been shortened to add a physical escape key to the keyboard. The notebook also gets a higher capacity battery, new speakers, and an improved internal microphone. Of course, it also promises a stellar performance. Repair specialists iFixit have now published a 16-inch MacBook Pro teardown to tell us more about the changes the Cupertino giant has made.

According to the 16-inch MacBook Pro teardown, the notebook is visibly bigger than its predecessor and the display hinge has been changed. The Touch ID gets a matte finish and the keyboards now feature half-sized inverted T-arrows keys. The new scissor switches keys look similar to the butterfly switch ones but they don’t have dust proofing membranes which perhaps implies Apple is confident they will not breakdown.
