At yesterday's event Apple presented the new MacBook Pros. Highly anticipated I don't think they disappointed anyone. They are real beasts on paper, at least. One of the rumors that began to come out, already close to the date of the event, was the possibility of an existence of Notch on the screen. Indeed it was. However, Apple has published a developer guide stating that that notch can be hidden in certain applications.
After the presentation of its renewed models 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro Apple released new guidelines detailing how developers can better use expanded screen space on new computers. As a result of having created very thin MacBooks, the screen of the new MacBook Pro needs a kind of notch or Notch. All this to house the front camera of the machine. However. As the company explains, developers can choose to include a black bar at the top of the screen to hide the clipping. This would mimic the design of previous generations of MacBook Pro. You could even make the most of the extra space with a new compatibility mode.
According to documents Recently released, MacBook Pros provide a special operating mode that prevents full-screen applications from dropping content below that Notch. When active, compatibility mode cautomatically change the active area of the screen system to prevent clipping, ensuring content does not get dark.
Developers can choose a full screen custom experience, But they will need to define safe areas in their code using new tools. The option can be turned on and off with the appropriate API support.
If we have gotten used to the Notch of the iPhone, we will get used to this, no problem
I think you have to think of it as gained space and not as lost space, let me explain ... We come from 13 and 16 inches, now we have 14 and 16,2 if I'm not mistaken, in system use the notch is located in the center of the bar of tools that currently have no use, with which we are taking advantage of the total inches of the screen. Regarding full-screen apps or videos, these inches are reduced to 16 and 13,8 respectively, with which we have also gained a screen compared to the previous generation, counting that using the window system, we once again recover 14 and 16,2, XNUMX. It's fucking ugly, but whatever it is ...
