Why Apple's New MacBook Pro Logo Should Have Been RGB

Apple recently introduced the PROLED MacBook Pro featuring an illuminated lid logo, which is a throwback to older laptop designs that were phased out by 2018. Teardown reports revealed that the new logo is lit by four white LEDs and synced with screen brightness through software. While the white light works as a nostalgia play, the use of software-controlled LEDs means Apple could have utilized RGB lighting instead. Because the components are difficult to access without damaging the screen, users hoping for multicolor options are left with standard white light unless they use third-party apps for effects.
