Okay, they haven't admitted their mistaken design to the public. So what? That says nothing about what design changes they might make in the future. There are definitely things to point out about Apple's current generation of MacBooks, but I really don't get the vitriol people currently have for them. Sure, I liked the MagSafe charging port, but USB-3 has so far been better than I expected. I only need one kind of cable for most things now, and can charge my phone and my MacBook off the same charger. The touchbar is kind of bullshit to me, though. It hasn't provided any benefit and is really just a nuisance when I somehow inadvertently touch virtual keys when reaching for the delete key. Other times, it shuts off after non-use during things like Google Hangouts, in which case what's the point of the virtual keys if I can't see them all the time? Yet the touchbar doesn't offend me enough that I wouldn't buy another MacBook in the future. These are still good computers. I used to be a Windows and Linux guy, but all the non-Apple laptops I owned had significant flaws that usually didn't reveal themselves at first. My experience with 2014+ MacBooks has been excellent in contrast, with updates always being very smooth, no hardware failures besides soy sauce jamming up my spacebar, and a consistent experience overall. I get people's criticisms, but I also think people need to chill out a bit, and that some of the vitriol is being manufactured by journalists(for better or worse, it's popular right now to attack Big Tech). If you don't like the butterfly keys, you can still buy a 2015 MacBook brand new or refurbished and it's really just as good for most purposes. My main laptop is a mid-2014 MacBook Pro and it's still working great with Mojave.
