Apple, the company that loves tiny gadgets you can't live without, is taking its touchscreen MacBook Pro game to new heights this fall by stuffing a smaller Dynamic Island into their 14-inch and 16-inch laptops. According to Bloombergās Mark Gurman, these new MacBooks wonāt just look 'similar' to the current modelsāthey'll literally have a teeny-tiny iPhone featureāthe Dynamic Islandāthat debuted with the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max in 2022. This pill-shaped cutout, designed to display info and alerts, is downsized for Mac screens, as if Apple thinks laptop users want less island, not more.
