macOS 27 Assets Hint at Dynamic Island for MacBook Pro
Ahead of Apple's expected debut of new touchscreen MacBook Pro models, five system assets have been discovered in macOS 27 that bear a strong resemblance to information displayed in the iPhone's pill-shaped Dynamic Island.
The new MacBook Pros are expected to feature a Dynamic Island-like cutout for the FaceTime camera, finally doing away with the notch that has been part of the machine's design since 2021.

Uncovered by code explorer pdfu and
shared on X (Twitter), the assets cover AirPods connection, Focus activation, AirPods noise cancellation, low battery, and automatic audio switching.
The assets are linked to a new menu bar component called MenuBarAgent, which "paves the way for a touchscreen Mac and a Dynamic Island," according to pdfu. "Some system compact and minimal views already ship," he added.
He also claims Siri AI will eventually occupy what he calls the new "system aperture" in a droplet-like design. The views line up with our previous reporting on macOS 27's touchscreen Mac hints ahead of the touchscreen MacBook Pro models Apple is set to announce later today.
