Why doesn’t Apple have an option for buying a MacBook Pro with the camera and mic physically disconnected? They could sell this option at an appropriately priced premium — along with a stylish Bluetooth-connected, 4K webcam with phased array mics for a very reasonably $499. I’m sure they would sell hundreds of thousands of them.
If ANYBODY could monetize “security chic” it’s Apple.

- mikece 7y agoThe underlying sensors are still active. I typically just keep my Logitech G430 headphones -- with the physical mute switch active -- plugged into my computer at all times because the system uses that for sound capture... except Siri/Cortana/Ubuntu One hear nothing when those are plugged in.
