Most of the displays with such issues also have an issue where the display blacks out when they are pushed beyond a certain normal viewing angle as seen below. One typical issue that the new Macbook Pro has is with the backlight and display showing “spotlight” effects at the bottom of the LCD.

MACBOOK PRO LATE 2013 15 IN 2016 RETINADISPLAY PROBLEMS MAC
Here at Mac Plus, we are seeing an increasing number of Macbook Pro 2016 – 2017 coming in for repairs for LCD backlight issues, LCD sudden death, keyboard issues as well as logicboard failures. LCD, Touch-ID and Touch Bar connectors are using thin flex cables which may be less durable. Their preoccupation with thinness has also brought about design compromises. As such, we believe that their products have not gone through rigorous product testing before being released to the public. Most of the time, design changes are not known to the public until launch, and Apple engineers work in separate teams in order to stamp out the possibility of leaks to the public. One of the main reasons why Apple products succeed is due to their wow-factor.

This is especially true for Apple products due to their obsession with secrecy. However, we folks in the repair industry believe that new architectural changes at both the aesthetic, component, as well as at the circuit design level sometimes introduces new issues. Sales of the Macbook Pro climbed steadily after the introduction of the new Macbook Pro. The previous iteration of Macbook Pro Retina has not had any aesthetic change since 2012 so the new model is welcomed by many customers. It comes in silver and space grey colour options and weighs just 1.37kg for the 13-inch model and measures in at 14.9mm of thickness. It is the thinnest and lightest MacBook Pro ever. Apple introduced the new Macbook Pro with a redesigned body, Touch Bar, Touch ID and USB-C in 2016 which has a thinner and lighter body than the previous Macbook Pro.
