Do they still ship these Airs with 720p webcams from the 2000s? I have a 2020 Macbook Air that has a terrible webcam.

I recently discovered this app that makes your iPhone (or iPad) a webcam for your Mac—the difference between the shitty webcam Apple ships and this is eye-opening: https://reincubate.com/camo/

Yeah and the low light performance isn’t great either

I have a feeling an improved webcam (and FaceID) will be one of the features Apple will use to distinguish their forthcoming higher end MBP's.

Surely, they won't keep using the same aging technology. At least I hope not.

Unpardonable in the age of covid. And I'm tired of trying out no name webcams from Amazon and hooking them with dongles and they barely stay on top of the monitor.
