   Didn’t expect to read this in this thread. I was there yesterday! Are you from Australia? Why not Gold Coast further north?

   Totally with you on the 720p camera.. here a comment that was posted when the new 16 inch MB Pro was announced concerning the same topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21524522

   Just out of curiosity: say you've recently stolen more than $1B from various people, some of whom might have a somewhat shady background - how would you disappear in this time where everything is electronically tracked, you have instag

   If anyone is living in or around Brisbane (especially Gold Coast), I'd love to hear your opinion about moving there as a self-employed tech worker / startup founder!

   The last 8 years I lived in Berlin, Germany as I got a job here and I am German. It has been a great time however I plan to leave Berlin and Germany next year to hopefully move to Australia. I really liked the time here in Berlin, however i

   Why not? Apple sells ~200M iPhones a year, so they already are ordering millions of FaceTime cameras for the iPhones. Why not buy 10M more of the same model and put them in the MacBooks?

   Same for me. I would easily pay $100 to NOT have the TouchBar.

    I'm completely with you. I have the older TouchBar model and every time I use the external Apple keyboard I am so much happier with the physical brightness, music controls and changing volume keys. For me I'd actually pay to have

    Just to be clear, I don't think Apple should put a back facing camera into their laptops. However, they should consider updating the FaceTime camera as it is regularly used by most people.

    I guess this is more a rhetorical question as taking pictures with a back facing camera is an extreme^10 edge case while doing video calls with the FaceTime camera for most users is a daily or at least weekly occurrence.

    Imagine they offered the same configuration with and without TouchBar, with the model with TouchBar costing $400 more - how many people would choose the model with? I bet less than 5%. Is Apple afraid to offer this because it clearly would

    To be honest, I am also really surprised by the apologism and the creative possible reasons that people come up with (e.g. "Apple couldn't handle the traffic the increased resolution would cause"). But you're right, I di

    Sure, but besides a very low number of comments on HN I've never seen anyone who really appreciated the TouchBar (and the increased price it causes). Say Apple would offer a model with and without TouchBar and the TouchBar model would

    Agreed, as long as I am forced to use the TouchBar, it personally for me is not "the world’s best pro notebook".

    Can someone explain to me how Apple can justify only including a 720p FaceTime HD camera into the "the world’s best pro notebook"? The last iPhone that had this FaceTime camera was the 6S, released in 2015. Since the iPhone 7 (201

    Thanks, I actually never heard of App Groups before. But this totally explains it.

    See the other reply, if "Limit Ad Tracking" is enabled, this should not be possible, right?

    I just checked and "Limit ad tracking" was indeed turned off (thus enabling the unique identifier). However, I turned it off and reset the ID, reinstalled IG, created a new account and it still showed FB contacts.
