14-inch MacBook Pro on macOS 14 Sonoma
NotNotch’s deployment target is macOS 14, so 14-inch MacBook Pro is built to run on Sonoma and later. The 14-inch cutout is the layout the chin and live chips are sized against most often.

Why Sonoma is the floor
The SwiftUI notch host and several system APIs assume macOS 14. 14-inch MacBook Pro follows that floor.
Later systems
The same 14-inch MacBook Pro path is intended to keep working through macOS 27 without bumping the minimum.
