Earlier this week, Apple published a new support document related to its 2021 MacBook Pro lineup and its Pro Display XDR. Apparently, both devices limit their overall brightness on the screen, to avoid damage when the display panel is running at high temperatures.
In the support document, the Cupertino based giant stated that a caution symbol will be displayed in the menu bar or display menu in the Control Center of a 2021 MacBook Pro or Apple Pro Display XDR. This alert notifies the users that the display is in low power mode and that the brightness will be limited as well (Via MacRumors). The iPhone maker says that this only occurs in a few scenarios. This include, ambient temperature of the room being high or if bright content is displayed on the screen for a long time.
The brand also offered certain solutions for users that are repeatedly seeing the warning pop up. So let’s have a look:
- On MacBook Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display, quit any apps that could be consuming significant system resources.
- Use the Apple XDR Display or Pro Display XDR reference mode unless your current workflow requires a specific reference mode.
- Lower the ambient temperature of the room.
- Close or hide any windows with HDR content.
- Choose Apple menu > Sleep to put your Mac to sleep. Let your display cool down for 5-10 minutes, then press any key on the keyboard to wake your Mac.
Apart from these, the company says that simply lowering the room’s temperature or putting the devices to sleep for a while might help in cooling it down. As per the official support document, users that face this issue regularly despite the ambient temperature of the room being under 25 degree Celsius should contact Apple Support.
