Here's the secret behind the return of the illuminated Apple logo on the back of the new touchscreen MacBook Pro
The glowing Apple logo has returned to the back of the MacBook Pro, but how does it glow? Now we know.
Apple fans are thrilled with the touchscreen MacBook Pro, as the new PROLED XDR display has enabled the return of an illuminated Apple logo on the back after nearly a decade. The OLED panel's built-in emissive pixels allow for the logo to glow brightly when the lid is open, while maintaining a polished metal appearance when the laptop is closed.
This feature, which many fans had missed, was made possible due to the thinness of the display technology and the remaining space within the laptop lid. The illuminated logo is a direct nod to the fans, as Apple CEO John Ternus hinted during a teaser that showcased light shining on the logo. While Apple has not disclosed the exact engineering behind the logo's appearance when closed, the feature was met with enthusiasm by those in attendance at the launch presentation.
