    16" Macbook Pro trackpad too much flex

    Hey, so I am posting 2 videos here, as you can see the top portion of the trackpad depresses (flexes) way deep into the chassis. The flex is equal to if not greater than the old clicky(push up) trackpads. I am assuming force touch trackpads shouldn't move? And if they should not by this much...

    TouchID not working while charging

    Hi! Anyone having issues with TouchID not working while charging? As soon as I unplug the charging cable it starts working normally. I've noticed this for now only with Safari while authenticating for passwords. I've seen a few other posts here and there about it (not on MacRumors) but I've yet...

    16" MacBook Pro, buy now or wait for the mini-led?

    Touch ID in MacBook Pro 16 doesn't work properly.

    Have you ever experienced not responding Touch ID? I don't say about any errors with notification on screen/touchbar or "please try again" No just not responding button. The best way to check it is to try set new fingerprint. Nothing happens. It can't scan your finger at all. Sometimes it scans...

    Why does not Apple set different performance options?

    the worst thing about bad choices and outputs of mbp 16 is the battery life concern causes them. To promote the battery life on WWDC show, users suffer these kind of quality drops or choices. if i use a Pro labeled device, i have right to modify its performance settings, i should have right to...

    Why Apple uses constant PWM on mbp 16 but not on MacBook Air 2020

    I have learned that MacBook Pro 16 is not pulse width modulation free and it flickers at 131000 hz always on every brightness. But MacBook Air 2020 starts flickering at %75 brightness level or below. For example imac pro starts flickering %50 brightness or below. So what is the reason for that...

    Which sodding Genius at apple ever decided removing a quick release power cord was a good idea? I just tangled myself in the cable and yanked if from my desk, which has left a nice dent and set of scrapes on it :( I know it's totally cosmetic but WTF. Why design pretty products, which DO NOT...

    What is the mechanism behind good color accuracy and bad pixel response time in mbp

    As we know well mbp 16 has terrible pixel response time and we feel it during scrolling a text or dynamic images... some people claim that this is due to good color production of pixels. So why does response time of a pixel get worse if it produces more quality colors?
