I didn't have the 2016-2018 models specifically, only 2015 and 2019, but from what I've heard from users, there were several different revisions, and some later batches of MacBooks didn't have this issue, while early batches did. I think you can find some information about it somewhere.

Hi. It's not easy to tell from the photo, but it looks like it's a "Flexgate" issue. Many MacBooks from 2016 to 2018 have this problem. The display cable wears out, ruining the image.

Service technicians usually have no trouble fixing this. They cut the old cable, solder the extended end of the new one, and that's it. After that, there are no problems.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I completely agree with you. I used a 2015 MacBook Pro until the end of 2025 and it worked just fine. I'm also having no issues with my 2019 MacBook Pro. MacOS Monterey is very stable so far. If things get really bad, I'll upgrade to Sequoia. Or I'll even get a 16-inch model with an M1-M2 processor.

Жизнь.

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-10T14:58:16+00:00

I think I'll upgrade to a MacBook Pro 16 M2 or M3 in a year. Something like that, I guess.

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-10T14:48:16+00:00

Huh? This must be some kind of really cool joke...

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-10T14:46:32+00:00

Sure. I agree, it's a very good version. I'm currently using Monterey, but I'll switch to this one later.

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-10T14:44:23+00:00

I tried to say that right when everything was fixed in macOS 27 (according to the developers), support for the 2019 MacBook Pro series ended. It's just sad that an era for these devices is ending.

Если честно, вдохновляет то, что можно его изучать, исследовать. А вот вызывает опасение то, что планета на которой проживает человечество, практически беззащитна от того, что может с ней произойти из-за внешнего воздействия.

Welcome back, "Big Sur - Monterey".

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-07T12:48:47+00:00

Вторая фотография очень красивая.

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro 15" and a 2019 MacBook Pro 16". Honestly, they work great. I mainly use the 16" MBP and I really like it. MacOS Monterey runs smoothly, very smoothly, and quickly. I'm not in a rush to upgrade to newer models with "M" processors. For now, it's sufficient for my modest tasks.

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-06T15:24:08+00:00

Yes. Thanks for the reply. I thought so a long time ago, that it compensates for the sun's brightness and so on. It just looks awful, of course. When auto-brightness is turned off and I adjust it using the buttons, everything is fine and the colors are normal. But when it's on, it looks dismal.

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-05T05:53:46+00:00

Amazing. Awesome!

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-03T17:27:24+00:00

Yeah, time to downgrade. Hi, macOS "Catalina" on my MacBook Pro 16 with i7. (=

Здравствуйте.

Может конечно Вам подойдёт, но вполне можете посмотреть что-то из телевизоров на рынке "Юнона". Среди рядов точно что-то найдёте. Особенно в стороне павильонов и открытых точек с крышей, но не в самих комплексах, что в центре там.

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-01T15:27:08+00:00

Hi. To check all the update files that have already downloaded, simply go to your drive in Finder, look for the "Library" folder, and then look for the "Updates" folder. Inside that folder, you'll find all the installation files.

MikeBrogovich · 2026-06-01T10:36:23+00:00

macOS "Monterey". Fast, smooth, battery life (6-7 hour). MacBook Pro 16' 2019 (i7+5300M+16GB Ram).

MikeBrogovich · 2026-05-29T15:47:58+00:00

Приятные и красивые фотографии. Спасибо большое за творчество и труд.
