MacBook Pro Touchscreen Returns Beloved Illuminated Logo
29 Oct
Summary
- New touchscreen MacBook Pro revives the iconic illuminated Apple logo.
- OLED display technology enables the logo's return without extra space.
- The glowing logo instantly signals a MacBook Pro with a touchscreen.
Apple's latest MacBook Pro model heralds the return of the cherished illuminated Apple logo on its lid, a feature unseen for almost ten years. This comeback is directly enabled by the new PROLED XDR display technology.
The emissive nature of OLED pixels in the display means no backlight is required for the screen itself. This innovation provided the necessary space within the laptop's ultra-thin lid to integrate a dedicated backlight for the Apple logo.
The return of the glowing logo is widely seen as a deliberate gesture towards Apple's dedicated fanbase. Its presence also serves as an immediate visual cue, distinguishing this new MacBook Pro as the first to incorporate a touchscreen.
Engineers have reportedly achieved an aesthetic where the logo appears as polished metal when the laptop is closed, a detail that remains an intriguing engineering secret.
