Hi guys, I'm so excited for the M1X Pros and I can't wait to order my 14", but I couldn't wrap my head around the resolution of the new displays:
Current displays have a perfect 16:10 resolution:
MB Air / MB Pro 13": 2560x1600 -> 2560/1600=1,6
MB Pro 16": 3072x1920 -> 3072/1600=1,6
But the leaked resolutions don't match the ratio:
Leaked 14": 3024x1964 -> 3024/1964=1,540
Leaked 16": 3456x2234 -> 3456/2234=1,547
Now I found a comment of a user called u/NickXiao on reddit where he has a theory which is too convincing for me. I know, no track record or something like that, but he made the point that the new MBs have a notch for the camera (but no FaceID). The notch would be 74px tall, and if you take these 74px into the calculation:
14": 3024x1890(+74px notch) -> 3024/1890=1,6
16": 3456x2160(+74px notch) -> 3456/2160=1,6
Which would fit perfectly with the previous ratios. It just makes too much sense to not be true, what do you think? Wold a notch be a dealbreaker for you?
