Can't believe they did so many positive changes with the MBP only to add the notch from the phone in too. Almost the perfect update. Does this mean every app in full screen has to be updated to account for it?



I don't think it will be that bad on Macbooks, because the notch will be embedded in the top menu bar.


No. It looks like the notch only cuts into the menu bar area and letterboxes fullscreen apps.


If it works like the iPhone, it'll be alright. It doesn't really cut into screen real estate. You just get a little extra notification area


Well the iPhone has a touchscreen whereas this will be used with a mouse.

I'm wondering what the behavior will be to run the mouse across the top of the screen?


On the contrary...you get more screen real estate.


> letterboxes fullscreen apps.

Sounds odd but I'll see what it's like in practice


Look at the old Macbook pros. The bezel at the top was thick. All they did was cut into the bezel so, in letterboxed mode, the display is the same size as the now previous gen of Macbooks.


I wonder if the OS just presents a virtual lower screen resolution in full screen mode?


I'd hope MacOS can account for it
