New MacBook Pro Could Have a Notch, Says Sketchy Last-Minute Rumor

[YourBoss]

Notch is the new black.

y'all keep claiming this is a bs story. this is going to happen. I won't have a problem with a notch. the top bar is covered by the menu bar anyhow. only issue is if you watch YouTube videos at full screen.

well to be fair, the majority of people with the current MacBook Pro with four thunderbolt ports usually reserve one literally for an HDMI or SD card dongle, so I don’t think that they will be too disappointed to find out that the dongle is no longer necessary.
I have almost never heard of a situation where all four thunderbolt ports are being used at the same time that doesn’t involve a dongle to an HDMI, SD card, or regular USB port.

Also with daisy chaining it really isn’t an issue

nobody? big word ...i would buy it, and another millions of customers. please stop misinform people

People won't tolerate this but maybe some are willing to give them a free pass. Most are not. Nobody wants a notch in the menu bar and how embarrassing would it be having a notch on a widescreen video? If Apple does this then they might as well pack it in and go home permanently.

Dell's XPS has had super slim bezels for a long time, and with no notch.

What a joke. Only a fool would think that this is happening. Notch would kill the product for tons of people and it just doesn't make any sense from any perspective. Its April's fool too late (or someone wants the clickbaits)

White/grey bezels on the iMacs? Would never happen. Still a chin on the iMac? Won’ t happen, etc.

It already lost its "Pro" meaning by moving away from x86. If this is true, RIP Mac.

Yeah this is not happening.

 

[BigPotatoLobbyist]

Watching the meltdowns would make it almost worthwhile....

Dude this is exactly why I hope to God it happens, I’m not pro-notch, but I am ambivalent and at times apathetic depending on the sub-topic. But the reactions are awesome. Priceless ****. Longest thread on Reddit ****.

No hate. I would embrace the notch 🥰

If it enables the screen to be bigger, so what if there is a notch!!

Just use a black menu bar, perfect.

The new MacBook Pro models are widely expected to be announced on Monday, 18 October at Apple's "Unleashed" event.

What if they weren’t?

2020 MacBook Pro’s suddenly see an increase in demand.

Still a 720p webcam, though.
I don’ t know what apple is planning, but the notch could be a 2160p front camera, like in the iPhone 12.
Apple could put the emphasis on that, because of the online meetings during corona. And seeing a really high end front camera as a pro feature, together with a 5g modem with e-sim. this could set a new quality standard for online meetings.

I want a notch on the Apple Watch.

 

[PsykX]

I call BS.

It would be shocking for sure, but as opposed to the iPhone which you can use in landscape mode, it wouldn't bother. There's always either the Menu Bar or the window toolbar in fullscreen.

And you can put a black stripe when it's playing videos, so the notch doesn't interfere.

 

[skaertus]

It seems like this new MacBook Pro is expected to be the biggest redesign the line has ever gone through.

 

[kazmac]

🤣 Yeah, right.

Macrumors:We don't have any real news/coverage to boost engagement & ads revenue on our site/forum.
so we decided to paint a random screenshot as a rumour.
Because our name is MacRumours.
Thank you all.

Guys.... this is a rumor site... sometimes things are straight news... but it's a rumor site.... engaging in and discussing rumors is for fun.... when it's a rumor from someone with a good track record, they tell you that... when it's a rumor that is weak, they tell you that... indulge, have fun, speculate.

 

[fompsweeva]

Instead of having the Apple logo on the lid, they're now going to have it on the screen, right in the middle. You'll just have to arrange your screen around it.

 

[dwsolberg]

It seems believable to me if Apple is trying something new because of the new display type.

MacRumors writer hasn't realised that the Weibo post is a complete troll lol

yes they had slimmer bezel and when they had, the web cam was in the keyboard
Now they made the top bezel a little bit thicker...and there is just ambient lightning and webcam, no dot projector or flood iluminator or 1080p camera or infrared camera
