    iPhone 13 What's the design point of a notch?

    As of recently, almost all latest Apple products have a notch: iPhones, MacBooks. The question is whether it's actually necessary? 1. It doesn't provide more information on a screen. It provides less. With a notch there's no space for battery percentage indicator, cellphone provider...

    Dirt like fleck on my Macbook Air M1 screen

    My mac has got a dirt like fleck out of nowhere today. There was nothing until morning and now it appears out of nowhere. I thought it was a dead pixel or something but rather than a dead pixel it looks like some dirt is stuck under the screen. Does M1 Macbook Airs have a removable screen...

    Other Eyes strain from last IPS and OLED iPhones

    Hi there! I've already checked many topics about the theme of "eyes strain", but my problem is a bit more complicated. This year I bought brand new 13 mini, which since the first sight gave me bad feelings on my eyes. It was like I look on the screen of the phone, and white color seem to be...

    Can anyone tell me by looking if my screen is dead or the cable loose?

    As in the title, my Apple Watch recently started doing this (see video). Occasionally the screen looks perfect and works that way but its getting more and more infrequent. A new screen is probably more than the watch sadly, has anyone seen this before? Thanks, Dave

    iPad Air Can’t have crap in the desert, I guess.

    Brand new iPad Air 2022, not even a month old and already have microscopic hairline scratches about as wide/deep as the thin hairs on my arm. Worst part is, they occurred whilst cleaning my screen to install a screen protector using the wipes that they gave me. I’m upset. I have heard that it’s...

    Mac Studio not sending video signal to monitor after long time off

    I've had a Mac Studio for two weeks now. While I love it, I've come across a couple of issues I'm not too happy about. One was a kernel panic caused by Onedrive, and to me, no matter how bad a program might be, an OS should be strong enough to kill it and not let it bring the whole system down...

    The higher the lid, the dimmer the display - is it the screen or the screen cable?

    MacBook Pro 15'' Late 2016 screen starts getting dimmer and dimmer when I open the lid past 30 degrees until it gets completely black. I captured the process in the attached video. I wonder if this is the screen or the screen cable problem. Do you have any idea what the issue might be?

    Resolved Weird screen edge

    Hi, I just bought my first Macbook and as it`s great all over, I`ve noticed that on the top edge of the screen there are bright lines. Is it normal or should I be concerned? I`m thinking if it`s pay off the hustle to return it if there is a chance to get it again as (maybe) it`s not unusual.

    Weird problem - Screen MBP 14

    Hi there, I have a strange problem with my MBP 14 screen when it reproduces white backgrounds. Please check the video: The Macbook does not know which correct white has to show and starts to flick between the two options. It does not happen all the time, it is random, but it happens...

    Cleaning the screen of my new M1

    I love my new M1 and want to take care of it. I keep it really clean but get spots on the screen nonetheless. I’ve read a lot about the Apple cloth and got one. But as I was just cleaning it and trying to remove a spot, I may have pressed too hard as there was a brief “discoloration”. I...

    Ultrawide Monitor

    A few years back, I got a 24" LG Ultrawide monitor. Eventually downsized my desk setup and sold the monitor. Now that I have room for a desk and with WFH, I'm looking to clean up my setup and get an Ultrawide monitor again, preferably 34". In the last few years, it's hard to believe USB-C with...

    17” MacBook Pro 2011 vs 2021 16” MBP

    Attached is an image comparing the screen size of the Late 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro A1297 to the 2021 16-inch MBP. My 17” mostly works fine with an aftermarket SSD and OpenCore macOS Catalina but I can’t use FCPX on it because I had to disable the discreet Nvidia GPU. To anyone who has waited...

    iMac removable screen - 2012-2020 hardware mod

    I miss the iMacs of 2009-2011. Despite their high GPU failure rates they were easy to get in to and upgrade. Specifically upgrading hard drives with SSDs. It is not an impossible task with 2012-2020 iMacs, but its sort of a one-and-done thing. You can really only remove and replace the adhesive...

    iPhone SE (2022) iPhone poor screen quality - anyone else notice?

    Firstly. I’m really fussy about screens. So I accept I’m being ott. But surely I can’t be the only one. I’ve bought and returned like 8 iPhones of various models as there’s always some defect on the lcd screen. Usually the colour consistency across the screen is poor - maybe one edge is more...
