Wish they updated the iMac today, too. My desk setup 2011 MacBook Pro isn't supported on Mojave and it's getting a little tired out. I still have my 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro but since I want to have iTunes stored on my NAS I want something stationary since I won't have any access to it if I'm off my home network.

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.
