Apple hướng dẫn cách tắt logo phát sáng trên MacBook Pro mới

While the illuminated Apple logo on the new MacBook Pro drew one of the biggest cheers during last week’s announcement, Apple knows that not everyone will want to keep it on. Here’s the company’s official guide to turning it off.

How to turn the Apple glowing logo off

The new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display marks the return of the illuminated Apple logo on its lid after a decade.

As Chance Miller explained in his review of the new MacBook Pro, “unlike older MacBooks, which used light from the display’s backlight to illuminate the logo, the new OLED MacBook Pro has no backlight to draw from, requiring a different approach.”

He added that, as with the old Macs, the logo’s brightness is tied to the screen brightness, though it also accounts for overall ambient brightness. He also noted that “when the MacBook Pro is closed, the logo looks like polished metal, just like it has since the 2016 redesign.”

The review echoed some of the findings developer Gui Rambo shared on X a few days ago:

Now, Apple has published an official support document that also explains how the illuminated logo works and how to turn it off completely.

Here’s Apple:

The Apple logo behind the built-in display is illuminated whenever the Mac is awake. It automatically dims or brightens based on the brightness level of the built-in screen and the lighting conditions detected by the computer’s ambient light sensor. For all screen-brightness levels, the Apple logo will be dimmer in a dim room and brighter in a bright room.

For users who’d rather keep the logo turned off at all times, Apple explains that they can run the following command in Terminal, provided they have the administrator password:

sudo defaults write com.apple.CoreBrightness LEBacklightMode -int 0

To revert the command and have the logo be illuminated again, users will need to run the following command:

sudo defaults delete com.apple.CoreBrightness LEBacklightMode

Apple notes that reinstalling macOS will also turn the logo illumination back on.
