You can still judge the macbook cameras by looking at the images they deliver. They're bad, really bad. I suspect that apple's laptop guru / team moved to iPhone and never got backfilled, leaving the macbooks with budget flat cameras from 2007 or something.

High quality cameras have been around since ~2015 even on midrange smartphones. Why can't laptops get one of those? Is there a supply issue?

Compare the thickness of the lid of your laptop to that of your phone.

There is your answer - Physics is a harsh mistress!

I doubt there's a good reason. That's why I'm considering bad reasons like "it fell through bureaucratic floor-cracks."
