Okay? So change it? Are the gods of thin devices stopping engineers from doing something different?

- dewey 4y agoI'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying that it's not a "just" drop-in replacement that you can do from one day to the next. Don't you think they would've done that instead of engineering some ugly phone holder solution for the new Continuity camera?
- feet 4y agoNo, I definitely don't expect apple to make rational design choices at this point Exhibit A, this thread They've been shifting design choices in a direction for years and this is what came of it. They could have made other choices but did not
- lkjdsklf 4y agoDesigning a laptop by sacrificing portability for camera quality is absolutely not rational design. No one is walking around taking photos with their macbook. It's only purpose is for the occasional video chat which, until recently, most people would use very rarely. Sacrificing portability for camera quality in a laptop would very much fall under irrational.
- davidmurdoch 4y agoApple is always searching for ways to get consumers to buy more of their hardware, so this does seem like a great way of entrenching users a little bit more. What I didn't think about in my original comment is that their new solution makes use of two of the phones cameras (face view and the keyboard view)... I'm not sure consumers would be okay with THAT much hardware real estate being taken up by the addition of a wide angle lens (which is a really cool feature, albeit a bit is a gimmick for most). Though I'm sure Apple marketing could still make it generally desirable if they wanted to.
