Apple's recently released MacBook Pro model reveals hidden features that aren't announced.
16-inch MacBook Pro
Overseas IT media such as McRumor said they found a sensor hiding in the new 16-inch MacBook Pro. It wasn't included in the previous MacBook Pro. It was not introduced in the release of the new product.
McRummer found a new sensor in a new 16-inch MacBook Pro service release distributed to an Apple Authorized Service Center. Afterwards, IFixit, which uploaded data on product disassembly, was able to find the sensor in the product.

After disassembling the product, iFixIt says the sensor appears to be a "lead angle sensor" to measure the angle when the laptop is opened by lifting the top of the MacBook Pro. The exact use is not known, but it is speculated that Apple is using it to diagnose the MacBook environment. For example, keep track of how many times you have opened or closed your laptop display, or at what angle.
