Apple has shared a new support document today that highlights a warning symbol that can show up when the 2021 MacBook Pro’s Liquid Retina XDR display gets hot. Ultimately, this will allow the brightness level of the screen to be lower. The company explains that a caution symbol in the Control Center or the menu bar on the 2021 MacBook Pro or the Pro Display XDR means that the display is “using limited brightness” or in low power mode. The reason for the decreased brightness on the 2021 MacBook Pro and Pro Display XDR is the high temperature.

You can lower the temperature of the room by turning the air conditioner on. Moroever, you can also put the device to sleep for a while so it can cool off.
