Five years ago, Apple introduced the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which featured a screen notch to house the webcam. Earlier today, the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models—equipped with a touchscreen "PROLED XDR Display"—were unveiled; not only do they feature an OLED screen, but the notch has also been removed.
The large notch at the top of the display has been replaced by an oval-shaped cutout, similar to the design seen on iPhones since the iPhone 14 Pro four years ago. In terms of design, this cutout results in a cleaner-looking display, with fewer interface elements obstructed by a black bar.
Apple has been gradually reducing the size of the camera cutout, with rumors suggesting that, in the near future, all cameras and Face ID sensors will be placed beneath the display. This has already been implemented in the internal display of this year's iPhone Duo.
