Notch causes laughter – Apple reacts
With its new MacBook Pro, Apple uses a notch. The recess causes irritation – and now also laughter. Symbols and other elements can disappear behind the notch and thus remain hidden. But Apple already has a solution ready.

Notch with the MacBook Pro: Apple wasn’t paying attention
While a recess at the top of the screen has long been standard on iPhones, the new MacBook Pro is a real premiere in the notebook sector. The first videos make it clear that Apple cannot look back on many years of experience. As it stands, Apple just did not worked properly enough.
“Who designed something like this?” Asks Quinn Nelson from Snazzy Labs, who has a couple on Twitter Videos about the notch published in the MacBook Pro. It quickly becomes clear that the notch is not just a recess that macOS ignores.
Sometimes it happens that menu elements of programs or symbols of the status bar say goodbye behind the notch. Users are faced with a real problem, as simple access to the hidden elements is simply not possible (source: Quinn Nelson).
Nelson also complains that apps have a lot of menu items “Steal” space from the icons in the status bar. However, this is normal behavior that happens with or without a recess. The worst accusation in this regard is that, given the space the recess takes up, it will now be more common.
in the Video you can take a look at the new MacBook Pro with Notch in detail:
Apple: Notch creates more space
According to Apple, the notch on the MacBook Pro ensures that ultimately more space is available. It would turn out to be “An intelligent way” act to make the edges of the MacBook Pro thinner. In fact, the edges have shrunk by around a quarter to 3.5 mm.
