It's simple math. To hold the camera housing of an iPhone camera the thickness has to go up which means the entire top lid needs to become thicker. This will easily double the weight of the laptop.
- blacksmith_tb 4y agoOnly if that means using twice as much metal - I would expect instead it'd mean adding a thin strip of metal around the circumference of the lid. That would add a few grams, I'm sure, but hardly doubling.
- nojito 4y agoNope. They need to ensure the same rigidity across the entire lid.
- jkestner 4y agoThat’s not what they did on the actual iPhone.
- nojito 4y agoan iPhone is much much smaller than a macbook lid is it not?

- Dma54rhs 4y agoThe simple math tells me the volume of material is not double.m when you make the lid thicker. Not sure what you're about, it doesn't make sense.
- feet 4y agoI don't think people in this thread have ever worked with or weighed pieces of aluminum, it would explain the bizarre perspective
- nojito 4y agoCrack open a macbook air lid and see for yourself. The amount of material required to maintain its rigidity is more than what most people assume.

- kalleboo 4y agoFrom your link > Now that I’ve used the webcam for myself, I can say that it’s woefully impractical. In order to actually have it looking at my face, I have to tilt the entire laptop up due to the fixed angle of the camera. It’s a cool idea, but probably shouldn’t have made its way to an actual retail product. People are likely to be super frustrated trying to use this webcam
