I remember seeing somewhere on reddit that there is a different between the 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro. It has something to do with the keyboard keys. I am not talking about the "defective" keyboards. I am talking about that it is a small detail that you can differentiate between the MacBook Pro revisions.

I know the difference between the 2017 and 2018 MacBook Pro is the Option ⌥ Key. On the 2017 MacBook Pro it is a normal size but on the 2018, it is taller. The icon appears to be stretched taller.

So I was wondering has Apple made a very subtle difference between the 2018 and 2019 MacBook Pro? It has nothing to do with checking System Information. You should be able to tell if it is a 2018 or 2019 MacBook Pro just by looking at the hardware.

There’s no cosmetic differences between the 2018 and 2019.

I don't think there are any cosmetic differences at all..althought the keys look a little higher to me :)

Nope no difference besides the regulatory markings under the Mac. Mine says 20.3V at 3A while my 2018 said 20V at 3A.
