The MacBook Pro, announced by the US-based technology giant Apple at an event held yesterday evening, came to the fore especially with the changes made in its design. Because the company preferred a notched screen for the first time in its new laptop. However, the fact that this notched screen does not include Face ID support did not satisfy the consumers. Many people think that this notch, which is hidden by black coloring in full-screen applications, is unnecessary.
Although the most striking aspect in the design of the MacBook Pro is the notch, the changes made are not limited to this. So much so that the company has also returned to some of the design language features it used in the past. In this content, we will talk about some of the features that Apple officially backs up. If you wish, let’s take a closer look at what those features are.
Here are some “old” innovations that Apple implemented in the new MacBook Pro
Touch Bar is gone
On the left you see the 2020 model, on the right you see the 2021 model MacBook Pro.
Apple, previous versions of the MacBook Pro included a section called the Touch Bar. This hardware, which we saw on the keyboard, enabled a touchpad to be used for some functions. It was different but not necessary. The 2021 MacBook Pro has eliminated this feature.
MagSafe is back
With a radical decision, Apple made a clear transition to USB Type-C. However, there was no support for the magnetic charging system called MagSafe. One of the important features of the 2021 model MacBook Pro was the support offered for this technology. The feature, which is available under the name MagSafe 3, seems to please many consumers.
More link support
Apple only included the USB Type-C port on the previous generation MacBook Pro models. However, the new model has 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports in addition to MagSafe, one HDMI port, one SDXC card reader, and one wired headphone jack.
Reverted to old keyboard design
At the top you see the latest MacBook Pro, and at the bottom you see the 2001 PowerBook G4.
For years, Apple has been using a keyboard design with each button separate from each other. However, that has changed this year. The company has returned to the jet-black keyboard that it stopped using almost 20 years ago.
The overall build is very similar to the 2004 model PowerBook
You see the 2021 MacBook Pro on the left, and a 2004 PowerBook on the right.
Apple used relatively softened corners in the PowerBook model released in 2004. In 2021, this design language does not go unnoticed. . .
So what do you think about this? Apple made a radical change by comparing the new iPhone models to the iPhone 5S design. Is this an indication of a return to the past?
