iFixit disassembled Apple's new OLED MacBook Pro and found its illuminated lid logo is powered by four white LEDs, with brightness synced to the screen via software rather than a traditional backlight. The teardown also showed the LEDs are difficult to access, with the display delaminating and breaking during disassembly. Users can disable the logo's illumination through Terminal commands or control it with third-party apps, but there's no built-in way to change its color.
