Briefings
Apple CEO John Ternus announced a new MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen in November 2025, but the illuminated lid logo was the primary reaction. The logo's brightness dynamically adjusts to match the screen's intensity, a feature absent since 2015. This design choice is a nostalgic nod to previous generations, though the specific impact on sales or user perception remains unmeasured.
Key points
- Apple CEO John Ternus announced the first touchscreen Mac with an illuminated lid logo in November 2025.
- The logo's brightness dynamically adjusts to match the screen's intensity, a feature absent since 2015.
Context
The Verge reports that the new MacBook Pro's OLED touchscreen was the main focus of the announcement, yet the illuminated lid logo received the most attention from attendees. This design choice represents a significant shift from the previous decade, where such logos were phased out in 2015 and removed entirely by 2018.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single article from November 2025 describing the announcement and user reaction. It does not provide data on sales figures, user sentiment, or long-term market impact. The specific date of the announcement is stated as 'last month' relative to the article's publication date of November 2025, creating a temporal gap.
