GoKawiiliFixit teardown reveals LED mechanism behind new MacBook Pro's glowing logo
iFixit's teardown of Apple's new touchscreen MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display found that the glowing Apple logo is powered by a light strip with four LEDs placed behind the OLED screen, with light reflected through a diffuser. The logo itself is coated to behave like a two-way mirror, appearing metallic when off but letting light pass through when lit. iFixit also noted the laptop uses less aluminum and a smaller trackpad to cut weight, plus a reworked hinge, though many components remain soldered or hard to access.
