Apple is expected to launch redesigned MacBook Pro laptops later this year, and these are expected to bring a massive overhaul in terms of looks and innards. The biggest change is going to be a touch-sensitive panel, one with OLED tech underneath instead of mini-LED panels that you get on the current crop of Pro laptops by Apple .
But it seems the pill-shaped cutout from the iPhones — officially known as the Dynamic Island — will also appear on these laptops, as per Bloomberg. What’s the big shift? “The company’s initial touch Macs, due this fall, will have the Dynamic Island at the center top of the display, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public,” reports Bloomberg. Ever since Apple put a notch on the MacBook — both Air and Pro models — fans have complained about the lost screen real estate and how it has remained untouched in terms of functionalities. Recommended Videos The open-source community, on the other hand, has developed plenty of apps that make the best use of the notch, turning it into a file container, clipboard manager, camera preview engine, mini-calendar, and more. But the aesthetic trade-off is still very much there. On the upcoming MacBook Pro overhaul, Apple is apparently solving two problems in one go viz., get rid of the notch, and put a Dynamic Island in its place that can serve as a hub of activities, similar to what we get on the iPhone. At last, some good news Currently in development under the codenames code-named K114 and K116, the upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro will feature a UI that is designed around interactions. And if the user interaction with the Dynamic Island on iPhones is anything to go by, its counterpart on the MacBook Pro will do a lot more, from tracking ongoing activities to serving as a progress timer and more. But Apple is not going all-in with a touch-friendly design of macOS. “The idea is to let customers use the touch input as much or as little as they’d like, and blend it with the familiar point-and-click approach,” adds the Bloomberg report. As far as the Dynamic Island itself is concerned, it will be smaller than what you currently see on iPhones. Either way, it’s an exciting turn of events. But it would still take some time getting used to. “There are other questions — how dynamic would this Dynamic Island be? If it frequently changes size like the iPhone version, that might mess with your muscle memory, as buttons are no longer where you expect them to be,” says our previous reporting on the possibility.
