Known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed that the iPhone maker is planning to release new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models with scissor keyboards in the second quarter of 2020.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro and the Air both still use the butterfly-switch mechanism, ones that have known to have high failure rates, which prompted Apple to initiate a free repair program worldwide in 2018.
