I wouldn’t go so far as to call the butterfly-switch keyboard design Apple introduced on its 2016 MacBook Pro a complete disaster, but it’s certainly not encouraging that the design continues to frustrate users nearly three years after first hitting store shelves.

Apple at the time boasted that the new keyboard design was 40% thinner than its predecessor while allowing for “greater precision” when typing. That notwithstanding, it’s been well-documented that the keyboard is prone to breaking down if even the slightest bit of debris manages to wedge itself underneath the keyboard. And though Apple has taken measures to make the keyboard more robust, the company just a few weeks ago acknowledged that some users are still experiencing usability issues with its third-gen butterfly keyboard design.

It’s now been a couple of weeks since Israel’s first attempt to land on the Moon was met with disaster at the last possible moment. The SpaceIL Beresheet lander crashed onto the Moon after what appeared to be some kind of engine failure in the final moments of approach, but new information is coming to light that suggests the engine may have had a good reason for shutting down.

A recent statement from SpaceIL offers a bit more context for the way the mission came to its unfortunate end, though plenty of questions remain.

Android Q will bring a host of significant new features to the mobile operating system later this year, from a system-wide dark mode to 3D Touch-like pressure-based input. But Google might also be looking to change up some of the fundamental elements of Android, as the latest discovery from XDA Developers appears to suggest.

This week, one of XDA’s senior members spotted a new gesture experiment contained within Android Q. The gesture seems to give Android users the ability to go back by swiping on either the left or right side of the screen. The gesture has yet to be fully implemented, but, as Apple has proven with the iPhone X/XS, it is indeed possible to replace most physical and digital buttons with gesture controls. Google is at least considering following suit.

In January of 2013, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos astutely laid Netflix’s content strategy on the table for all to see. “The goal is to become HBO faster than HBO can become us,” Sarandos said. He also added that Netflix, in stark opposition to networks that can’t help but micromanage every single aspect of the production process, would shy away from giving notes and would give content creators full-season commitments.

“The idea that they wouldn’t just pull the plug midway was totally thrilling,” Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan said at the time. “It’s similar to a pay-cable model but even more liberating. This is the future.”

Apple has been touting the iPad as a viable laptop replacement for years, but the fact remains that iOS, in its current state, simply isn’t all that well suited to the multitasking necessary to make it a true workstation. That’s not to say that there aren’t iPad owners out there who have made it work, but, personally, I’d be at a significant disadvantage were I to trade in my laptop for an iPad to do my job, for a wide variety of reasons.

That might not be the case for much longer, though, as MacStories editor-in-chief Federico Viticci claimed on a recent episode of his Connected podcast that Apple will add mouse and trackpad support for iPad in iOS 13. Though Viticci didn’t single them out, he said that he has heard this news from multiple sources.
