Repairing such damage can be difficult and costly. According to repair specialists, a new display malfunction, dubbed “Dustgate,” has become a real problem for several MacBook Pro models. Forbes reported on the situation. [caption id="attachment_82318" align="aligncenter" width="513"] MacBook Pro[/caption] When the MacBook's lid is opened at a certain angle, purple vertical lines appear on the screen. According to Stefan Steins from the NotebookNerds workshop, the problem is quite common and repairers receive several of these devices every week. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-eHc-pj2A0M?feature=share Apparently, the problem is related to the flexible cable that connects the display to the main body of the laptop. There is a gap at the hinge between the screen and the keyboard where dust and dirt can collect. The debris then gets caught on the cable and damages it over time as the cover is opened and closed. Purple vertical lines: MacBook Pro screens failing due to dust Repairing such damage can be difficult and costly. Ricky Panesar from iCorrect said: The difficulty is that damaged cables are connected on the back of the screen itself. To repair, we will have to disconnect the screen from the cover without breaking it, and solder new flexible cables. There is a high risk of breakage. It’s easier to simply completely replace the display, which is what Apple itself usually does in the event of such a malfunction. This could cost customers more than $625 if they don't have Apple Care's extended warranty. [caption id="attachment_82320" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MacBook Pro[/caption] The problem affects several versions of Apple laptops - with model numbers A1989, A2251, A2289, A2338 and A2141, with the latter suffering the most. These models were released between 2018 and 2020. Experts say MacBook Pro models released between 2016 and 2020 have a similar design and may be affected by this issue.

Apple prevé unas ventas superiores a las inicialmente previstas para estas navidades

#Apple prevé unas ventas superiores a las inicialmente previstas para estas navidades

A pesar de que durante las navidades del pasado 2018 las ventas de Apple Inc. descendieron por primera vez en una década, un 5% menos que durante las navidades del 2017, y que la tendencia en la venta de las distintas versiones de su producto estrella, el iPhone, sigue a la baja, Apple prevé que las ventas totales durante las festividades navideñas de este año superarán holgadamente sus…

But energy consumption will decrease By the end of the year, Apple may release updated MacBook Pro 14 and 16 laptops. There is no data on all the changes yet, but DigiTimes talks about improved screens. [caption id="attachment_64491" align="aligncenter" width="780"] new MacBook Pro[/caption] More precisely, about a brighter miniLED backlight, which, however, will not lead to an increase in the brightness of the screens themselves. The new MacBook Pro will receive brighter mini LEDs for backlighting the screens According to sources, Apple has not made any major changes to the miniLED backlight specifications since it introduced it into its tablets and laptops. But future MacBook Pro devices will feature miniLEDs that are 10% brighter than previous ones, without changing the number of miniLED chips in the backlight module, the sources said. The brightness boost is not intended to improve picture quality, but rather to save power and improve battery life, the sources said, adding that the new devices will begin shipping in the fourth quarter of 2023 That is, it looks like the brightness will remain the same, but thanks to improved LEDs, the displays will consume less power at the same brightness. However, it is unlikely that Apple will release an updated MacBook Pro with only this change. However, the M3 platforms are not ready yet, so no changes in performance should be expected.

Or more The first iPhones with Apple's own cellular modems will hit the market no earlier than 2026 . But it turned out that the company is also preparing MacBooks, which will also be equipped with 5G modems. [caption id="attachment_83846" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MacBook laptops[/caption] MacBook laptops will get Apple's own 5G modems, but you'll have to wait five years Apple laptops will also receive its own modems, but such PCs will have to wait even longer than smartphones. It is expected that the new products will be released in 2028, and given the difficulties that Apple faced in developing its modem, it is not a fact that the deadlines will not be shifted. Interestingly, the 5G modem in the case of the MacBook will allegedly be integrated into the Apple M SoC, which will make the latter even more complex. Initially, MacBook Pro models will receive the modem, probably as an option, and after that this option will appear on younger models as well.

But Apple hasn't made a decision yet It looks like Apple might actually release a new MacBook at a price point that the company isn't currently playing in. [caption id="attachment_73880" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MacBook[/caption] We had previously heard about this possibility, but now it is reported by insider and Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. A cheap MacBook could become a reality. According to his message, Apple has not yet decided whether to release such a device, but its release could allow the company to sell an additional 8-10 million laptops per year. For comparison, last year the company sold about 27 million, that is, the increase will be very significant. The company can take such a step against the backdrop of the current decline in MacBook sales. But Apple wants to solve the problem not only with a cheap model. Another option is to launch early the new MacBook Pros based on the M3 line of platforms. Kuo says Apple attributes the decline in laptop sales in part to the fact that the M2 SoC provides only a minor performance boost over the M1, while the M3 should bring a more significant boost. Also in the future, Apple may release completely new MacBook Pros with a new design, but only in 2025. However, if the company manages to increase sales up to this point, the new model may not come out.
