Will WWDC26's "All Systems Glow" bring back glowing MacBook logos?

Do you think that Apple is bringing back the glowing logos on their hardware? I do because their WWDC26 sneak peak tagline is "All systems glow." Pretty suspicious to me...

The glowing Apple logo was iconic, it also isn't going to make sense if Apple is moving in the direction of OLED in the MacBook.

edit: Actually, it doesn't even make sense with the MBP mini-LED displays.

No chance. WWDC is primarily a software event; it has something to do with software. It's also a play on the phrase "All systems go." It's probably referring to the new Siri finally being ready (and Siri does glow).

Plus, it was only the MacBook that had the glowing logo. It wouldn't make sense to use "all systems" here. The iPhone, iPad, etc. can't have a glowing logo...at least not the same way it worked on the MacBook by using the display's backlight.

If it was a MacBook hardware event, then maybe you'd be onto something. But even then, backlighting technology has changed since they took the glowing logo away. I don't see Apple designing a new part with built-in LEDs just for looks. It'd add cost if they did. Back then, it didn't cost them anything. Just cut a hole in the back frame and there you go...a glowing logo.

Why would you think that? Its long been killed off, and AFAIK, there's been no rumors.

Back in the day, it had a coolness feature, but now, I don't see it doing anything.
