In 2016, Apple added an auto power on feature for its new MacBook models that you opened a notebook lid or opened the USB-C plugin when the lid was open. If you don’t want an additional step to suppress the power button, this is a small convenience – as well as running a computer, if for some reason, this button stops working.

But what if you just open the lid to clean the screen or solve the computer problem for another problem? Or maybe you are making a slabot and don’t want to enter electricity just because of it? Or if you don’t want to be automatically, what will happen? In these cases, the auto -power is either minor discomfort or straightforward discomfort.

To achieve this feature, the first MacBocus had an Intel processor, and it continued to each new model, including Apple turned its Apple Silicon M -Series into processors. Intel is a terminal command for MacBox that can be used to disable the open lid power on, but when Apple launches M -1 MacBook Air in 2020, this command has not done any more. However, in January 2025, Apple finally added an official way to disable the autoboat when opening the lid of the M1 and modern MacBox.

Here is how to disable auto power on any kind of Mac lid here.
