I'd love if it had an excellent webcam. I imagined the M1 would have a better webcam than the 2015 Retina MBP but instead the newest built-in webcams are significantly worse in quality. I'd imagine including a camera system from an iPhone would make a huge difference for Apple's users given the popularity of remote meetings these days.

Unfortunately the back lid is not thick enough for that - even the iPhone isn't thick enough for the iPhone camera system, hence the "bump". I actually wouldn't mind something closer to the iPad + magic keyboard design in a pro macbook, which would have the thickness needed for a significantly better camera.

  Why not have a bump in the MacBook screen with a small penalty in trackpad size?

    Because it's ugly. It's just not an elegant Apple-ish solution.

    I'd imagine because for the vast majority of people they'd appreciate the trackpad size more and the webcams are already serviceable.

  iPhone and iPad front facing cameras do not need a bump and they run circles around the crap in MacBooks though.
