    Still no apple solution for notch & menu bar?

    Is it strange for me to assume that macOS should resolve the menu bar issue when there are too many items on it and simply get covered by the notch? I have been using Bartender since the M1 Pro MacBooks and just deleted it to find out whether there is a macOS solution.... I am trying the GitHub...

    Menu bar size of MacBooks with notch on other Macs

    I know it's strange but I love the large menu bar on MacBooks with a notch but I want to put it on my iMac. I don't know if it's possible with an app that allows you to change the size as if it had a notch or with OCLP's Mac spoofing

    Apple should've just integrated the notch with the menu bar on MacBooks...

    Just make the menu bar black and unaffected by the wallpaper so that it just blends in with the notch all the time, like the way it does in fullscreen but in windowed mode, as well. It's amazing how no one at this company had the foresight to do this. It's sad because they just released all...

    Other Notch or Dynamic Island, what do you prefer?

    I’m recently seeing big discounts on the iPhone 14, and I expect the price to go further down once the 15s get announced. While I will wait and see what’s coming, it’s well known that all the iPhone 15s will abandon the notch in favor of the new Dynamic Island. For the past year, I’ve had the...

    [2023 MPB14] The Notch > Menu Bar impact was a dealbreaker for me until...

    I bought the 2023 14" MBP a few weeks after release. The Notch began to annoy me, spefically the way it impacted the Menu Bar's depth, probably owing to my OCD more than anything else. Minor Annoyance: How the bottom of the Menu Bar sits 8px or so below the Notch. Much discussed elsewhere. It...

    What do you guys think about 2023 MacBook Pro? will there be a notch?

    I want to upgrade my 2014 macbook pro to another macbook pro next year (either 13" or 14") but there are two things stopping me now: The notch on the 14" and the touchbar on the 13". Do you think Apple will remove the touchbar from 13" too? since they removed it in the 14"? I dont know what...

    is it an Apple design mixup?

    Im thinking to buy a MBpro 2022 but one of the things that kinda puts me into thoughts of not making the purchase is the Notch thats implemented differently than the new macBookAir 2022 model. Seeing a diff design for the Notch, i get the impression of a design inconsistency and cant figure out...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max Location of Dynamic Island on 14 Pro Max. Does it go further down the screen than the bottom of the notch on the 13 Pro Max?

    I'm wondering if the bottom of the DI eats into the screen further down than the bottom of the notch? The DI def looks narrower than the notch though.

    The M2 MacBook Air Doesn't Look So Modern Now

    Just a couple months after everyone raved about how modern the new MBA looks, Apple introduces the Dynamic Island, instantly making devices with the notch look old and outdated. Kinda funny that they introduced the new MBA with a design they knew was on its way out...

    I think I've found the best way to remove the notch on MacBooks

    I was inspired by this post on StackExchange. Adjust screen resolution to 16:10, and everything should go below the notch. I don't have a MacBook with a notch, so I went to an Apple Store to give this idea a try. The first two things that came to my mind are SwitchResX (as in that post) and...

    Other iPhone 14 Pro presentation leak

    I have found this leaked image from today's keynote presentation recording. It looks like that we will have two dots (one wider, second tighter) in iPhone 14 Pro.

    Other Pixels Above the Pill on iPhone 14 Pro/Max - useful for what?

    Will the space above the pill be useful or will it improve user experience? I wonder if it will be distracting if you're watching a movie or playing a game? I can't think of any useful reason to have those pixels there. Maybe it will make it more immersive. Maybe it will make the pill less...

    What if the MacBook Pros had a camera bump instead of display notch?

    Would you guys prefer something along these lines over the current display notch? I feel like a camera bump has quite a few practical benefits, even though it looks pretty weird. Maybe it take some getting used to. Any downsides to doing a camera bump like this?

    I was WRONG! It’s notch so bad after all…..

    After purchasing my Macbook pro I was scared of 2 things. Have I ordered the right colour? ( silver vs space grey) and I chose silver…..and that damn notch! Now watching YouTube videos of probably every Macbook released the last few years or so to influence my decision I noticed a lot of...

    Do You Think Apple Will Stick With the Notch?

    There may have been a post on this already, so apologies if there has! My questions are fairly simple. Do we think Apple will stick with the notch going forward? If they remove it, how long do you think down the line it will be? I have seen some very mixed reviews since its introduction and...

    Future of the MacBook Pro notch?

    I'm considering getting a MacBook pro within the next couple years and I'm curious about peoples' thoughts about the future of the notch. I'm not super opposed to the notch in its current form, but if I could wait to get more functionality out of it (i.e. FaceID) I would. One the one hand, I've...

    iPhone 13 Pro Notchless 14 pros

    I want to buy the iphone 13 pro but I have read a lot of rumours telling the notch will go away in 14 Pro. I’m confused now. Should I wait till iPhone 14 pro for the notch to go away or should I buy 13 pro now? How credible are these rumours? There are so many stating the notch will go away. Is...

    TopNotch Doesn't Turn Off [Update: Solution Found]

    Hello everyone! I installed TopNotch when I first got my new MBP. However, I went to turn it off to check something, and it didn't unhide the notch. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling - nothing is making it come back to "normal". Does anyone have any advice? Thanks! UPDATE...

    Why does MacBook Pro 14" report 3024x1964 to games instead of 3024x1890 (16:10) ? (re: MacOS bug?)

    I'm trying to understand the resolution of the new MacBook Pro laptops. For example, the MacBook Pro 14" has a resolution of 3024x1964. If you subtract 74 pixels from the height (1964) then the resolution is 3024x1890 which is a proper 16:10. If you play a non-optimized game such as Shovel...
