A novel concept could bring forth a projecting camera that allows for repositioning possibilities
The FaceTime camera in the MacBook Pro has traditionally lagged behind its iPhone counterpart, but recent insights indicate that Apple is actively enhancing this feature — potentially by integrating larger cameras within a rotatable display.
While some users may overlook the presence of the camera notch on their MacBook Pro, others might see it as an intrusion into their screen’s space. Nonetheless, one notable aspect is that it doesn’t contribute to the overall thickness of the device.
Though sufficiently wide to raise questions about including Face ID functionality, this notch’s subtle design may inherently limit Apple’s ability to incorporate an advanced camera system. Instead of simply waiting for slimmer components, Apple seems to be exploring alternative solutions.
A recently surfaced patent application titled “Camera integration for portable electronic devices,” takes a refreshingly different approach by prioritizing effective camera integration over slimness.
Interestingly, while this patent is recent, it’s not without precedent; Apple had secured a similar patent back in July 2024 addressing analogous concepts. It’s common practice for Apple to submit multiple applications for patents as they refine and iterate on ideas.
In detail from this current application, sketches suggest that any new camera system would maintain a maximum thickness of 3mm and would indeed extend outward from the lid of the MacBook Pro.
Positioning and Flexibility
One critical question revolves around just how far this protrusion will extend and where precisely it will be placed on the device. Many diagrams show it partially located at what appears to be defined by the display assembly’s notch.
Alternatively, other illustrations depict what they refer to as an additional “camera module,” capable of side placement or even mounted at the back rather than upfront.
Potential Functionality Enhancements
The idea suggests an intriguing setup where one front-facing module interacts with another positioned at the rear of practical applications like video conferencing—though challenges may arise if participants are positioned variably relative to themselves and respective displays during calls. Some distance between subjects might allow leveraging dual-camera features reminiscent of iPhone 11’s capabilities—a model previously able to shoot simultaneously from both its front and rear cameras despite limitations in quality compared with expectations set by Apple itself.
