In a recent interview, Apple’s product manager for the Mac line-up explained why the display notch on the MacBook Pro is a smart solution for the notebook.
Almost a week after Apple’s Unleashed event, the company talked about the notch design we see on both the new MacBook Pro models. As per Apple, the display notch on the new Pro notebooks is a smart way to give users more screen real estate for content and doesn’t cut screen space in any way. But before diving into what Apple said about the notch on MacBook Pro models, let’s go back to 2017 when Apple introduced the first device with a notch. The iPhone X was the first Apple product with a display notch, and at that point, it was right at the centre of all the hate from social media users over its design. A few years later, almost every second phone unveiled had a notch, and it became the new normal. Similarly, the MacBook Pro is getting mixed responses from people on social media, including Reddit, where people are calling the design ugly. We expect everyone to finally accept the notch on the notebook and be calm in the coming weeks.
