While Apple is planning to introduce new products such as the next-generation MacBook Pro on the 19th (local time), it is predicted that the notch design will be adopted for the next MacBook Pro.
Citing multiple IT tipsters, IT media MacRumors reported on the 17th that the notch design is highly likely to be adopted for the next MacBook Pro.
On the 16th, a Chinese Weibo user (@AnyTurtle999) posted a picture of the display and rendering of the M1X MacBook Pro on his account. In the published photos, the overall design is similar to the existing M1 MacBook Pro, but you can see that the display has been changed.
He said that the screen bezel of the next MacBook Pro will be significantly thinner, and the notch design will also be applied to the MacBook to mount a 1080P front camera and a sensor for a True Tone display.
According to ty98 on the MacRumors forum in August, Apple predicted that all future MacBook Pro models would have a notch. He also provided other details about the upcoming MacBook Pro, including a 1080p front-facing camera and lack of Face ID capabilities.
He said he was also familiar with the new MacBook Pro recently, adding that he “saw both the case and the packaging of the MacBook Pro.” He looked at the packaging of the next MacBook Pro and explained that Apple had made the display a dark color so that the notch was not visible.
According to MacRumors, the possibility that the next MacBook Pro will be equipped with a notch is high, based on the fact that rumors of a notch on the MacBook Pro have been continuously reported by multiple sources for several months.
