Apple's next MacBook Pro lineup could include an updated FaceTime camera. A leaker claims the webcam will increase in resolution to 1080p.
Apple's 24-inch iMac features a 1080p FaceTime camera above the display, a significant upgrade for a component that has long been at 720p. The upcoming MacBook Pro models, scheduled for release in late 2021, could see the same upgrade. Let's face it—it's about time! In any case, the FaceTime upgrade was reported by iOS developer and leaker "@Dylandkt" on Twitter , claiming that the upcoming MacBook Pro "will receive an updated, improved 1080p webcam." Currently, the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air all use a 720p FaceTime camera. Although the M1 MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro deserve an upgrade, Apple has decided to continue using the outdated camera.
MacBook Pro 2021 with M1X chip and more ports
Why actually? Probably to save costs. Whatever. As a reminder: If rumors and leaks are to be believed, Apple will introduce a MacBook Pro - in two sizes, 14 and 16 inches - with an HDMI port and an SD card slot. In addition, MagSafe technology is also set to make a comeback. But that's not all. The new MacBook Pros are said to be equipped with eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores, which are available in either a 16- or 32-graphics core version. The processor is most likely the so-called M1X chip. In addition, the Touch Bar is to be omitted in favor of physical buttons and mini-LED technology is to be used for the display technology. In terms of release, the third quarter of 2021 has been suggested several times - whether this will ultimately happen remains to be seen, of course, as always. (Photo by Unsplash / Sergey Zolkin)
