At the top of the display is a notch (protruding), where a camera for video calls was placed.The resolution has been improved from the old model 720p to 1,080p due to the enlarged sensor, and the F -number that indicates the amount of light that can be imported is 2..It became 0.As a result, the performance of the camera in a scene where the brightness is insufficient is doubled, and the update is tailored to the "ZOOM era".

However, unlike the iPhone, the same notch does not have a "TrueDepth" camera that integrates infrared sensors.For this reason, it does not support the face authentication function "Face ID".Instead, the power button on the keyboard has a built -in fingerprint sensor corresponding to the fingerprint authentication "Touch ID", so you can unlock with one fingertip.

In the new MacBook Pro, the touch interface "Touch Bar", which replaces the function key, has been abolished, and the physical function key has revived.Apple apparently acknowledged that the idea of changing the display and function of the key according to the app in use was "failure".

It is not the only physical function key that revived.Notable is the resurrection of ports abolished in the old model.The new MacBook Pro is equipped with three USB-C ports and SD card slots that support "Thunderbolt 4" in addition to the HDMI port.This will increase the number of situations where you do not need to use unnecessary things such as a connection adapter or USB hub.In addition, the headphone jack supports high -impedance headphones with high sound reproducibility.

There is another serious "resurrection"."Magsafe", which fixes the power cable with a magnet that was abolished in 2016, has returned as "Magsafe 3".Although it is not a mechanism to attach accessories like a system installed after the iPhone 12, the power cable can be fixed with a magnet like the past MacBook series.In addition, since the charging from the USB-C port continues to be supported, an existing power adapter can be used.

There was also an update in terms of sound quality.The new MacBook Pro is equipped with a sound system consisting of six speakers in addition to a microphone that claims studio quality.The speakers are composed of two tweeters and four woofers, can be played in 80 % of the low range and support spatial audio.
