Speaker grills on black MBP not uniform?

[kryptticAZ]

For those of you who bought a black one, do you see three small circles and two larger squares on the speaker grills that are slightly darker?

The circles are only on the left grill, but the squares are on both sides. This is on my new 16" black M3 MBP. I don't notice any similar marks on my 16" M2 MBP.

The small circles are just the microphones. And the squares are the speakers, its all normal.

I'm just wondering why these aren't visible on my space gray M2 16".

Maybe it's just down to the colour and it just stands out more. IDK

Lol, I came in to laugh....and I did. Thank you OP

Not sure why it's laugh-worthy. I spent over $6K on this thing and want to make sure it doesn't have a cosmetic defect.

With a new Mac with a new color, I too would be asking the same especially at that kind of price point. Nothing wrong with wanting to be sure there isn't a defect.

Just chiming in to say that I can see the same on my Space Black 14" if I shine a flashlight close to the speaker grills. Otherwise I don't see it.

Ok, I just looked at my Space Gray M2 again and the same holes are there. They’re just a lot more visible with the new black color.

They actually are (I can kind of see them on mine). They’re just less noticeable.

theyre the parts of it the dark pixels are the microphones and speaker cone and the light part is the dish with the microphones in it

I don't even think they are speakers are they? Aren't they cosmetic?
