Apple Warns MacBook Pro, Pro Display XDR Users Of ‘Limited Brightness’ Error

Apple’s Pro Display XDR is a pricey piece of equipment. You could argue that they are mostly aimed at professionals who need the resolution and color accuracy, but even then, it does not come cheap. Unfortunately, it looks like the display along with Apple’s new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are facing some issues.

According to a new support document published by Apple, the company is warning owners of these devices that they might encounter an error message that says “limited brightness”. Apple says, “This can occur if the ambient temperature of the room is high and you’ve been playing very bright content for an extended period of time.”

To fix this issue, Apple says that MacBook Pro users should quit apps that might be consuming a lot of system resources, while those using the Pro Display XDR should put their monitors to reference mode. They also suggest lowering the ambient temperature of the room, and to close or hide any windows that might be displaying or playing HDR content.

Apple says that if this issue persists despite the ambient temperature of the room being less than 77F, that users should get in contact with the company. That being said, the semi good news is that it doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue, especially since this is the first time we’re hearing about it since the Pro Display XDR was released a couple of years ago.

However, we can imagine it could be rather annoying for users who paid a lot of money for the display or the new MacBook Pros, so whatever the issue is, hopefully Apple will have a fix for it in the future.

Apple’s Spring Event Could Take Place March 8

Every year, Apple typically hosts an event in the early part of the year ahead of WWDC. This year does not appear to be the exception, but the question is when will the event be taking place? According to a report from Bloomberg, it could happen in the next month or so in the early part of March.

Assuming the report is accurate, it claims that Apple’s spring event will be taking place on the 8th of March, or possibly around that time of the month. This event is expected to see Apple announce a handful of new products, one of which will be Apple’s entry-level iPhone SE 5G smartphone.

This will be the first iPhone SE from Apple to support 5G, which is actually pretty great because given the price of the iPhone SE, bringing 5G to a somewhat relatively affordable smartphone could help Apple sell more of its products instead of customers being forced to purchase Apple’s higher-end iPhones.

The event is also expected to see Apple launch new iPads and potentially even a new Mac computer that could see the use of the M2 chipset, the successor to the M1 that originally launched towards the end of 2020. Safe to say that this should be taken with a grain of salt for now, but if the March event rumor holds true, we should have more details in the coming weeks.

Rockstar Says Next GTA Title Development Is Underway

Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto V back in 2013, which means that it is close to being a decade old. However, despite the fact that it is so old, many are still playing the game. This is largely thanks to the company’s smart decision of creating an online version of the game where new content is constantly being added to keep things fresh and interesting.

However, we’re sure that many gamers are no doubt eager to see what the next major installment in the GTA franchise will be bringing to the table, and we have some good news for you on that front. Rockstar has announced and confirmed that they are already actively developing the next GTA title.

According to the company, “With the unprecedented longevity of GTAV, we know many of you have been asking us about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. With every new project we embark on, our goal is always to significantly move beyond what we have previously delivered — and we are pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway.”

We have been hearing rumors about GTA 6 for a while now and some of its features, such as smarter NPCs, so it’s good to see that the company has confirmed its existence and that it is being worked on. However, if earlier rumors are to be believed, it could be quite a while before we see it released, but hopefully Rockstar will have more concrete details to share soon.
