i'd have much rather that apple remove the camera entirely to support a nearly bezel-less, notchless screen.
then for folks who want a camera, apple could have added a smart connector and magnets near the top back of the lid to clip on a camera when needed. it would have been a real win for privacy[0], and they can do their little trick of excessively marking up accessories to boost revenue. it's even better than a physical on-off switch, since 'off' literally means off. the camera could then be thicker, which means no need to compromise on image quality due to the physical limitations of the bezel/lid.
[0]: unlike the theater of their 'privacy report' (in beta), which doesn't let you block any of the trackers they surface.
