The clip is an ugly solution, but still it seems better than any other I could think of off the top of my head: - Wait to out until someone invents a unique light capture system in the future which meets expectations. - Shoot the same image multiple times with multiple cameras and use ML to create a composite image of good quality. - Shoot different quadrants with multiple cameras and stitch them together. - Add a bump at the top edge of the screen to get the depth needed for multiple lenses and then a notch under the trackpad for the bump to fit into. The fact they have the huge bump on the iPhone Pro does indicate they are willing to compromise a bit on form factor for function and a notched trackpad would match them notched screen. - Add a fragile spring loaded bump which pops out as the screen is opened. - Add a fragile mechanical bump that needs to be lifted into place to enable the webcam. - Put wide angle cameras in the bottom case for a reverse desktop view. - Instead of an external clip bump the Apple up to the top edge for a magnetic QI charger built into the back of the screen (current solution without needing to carry a clip). - Make the screen thicker and use the unused space for additional light weight battery capacity and/or some sort of ePaper scribble surface. I hope they gather enough data from this clip experiment to justify experimenting with a compromise solution.
