The FaceTime camera on a MacBook Pro is notoriously not as good as the one on an iPhone, but research suggests that Apple is still working on it and may have decided that the solution involves putting larger cameras in a rotating display. The notch could be replaced with a protruding camera — but one that could also be repositioned.

You might not give the camera notch on the MacBook Pro a second thought. But even if you do and you hate it and think it takes up screen space, the one thing you can't say is that it's thick.
It's quite wide, so much so that you wonder why it doesn't include Face ID yet. But it doesn't add to the thickness of the MacBook Pro's lid, and it's apparently that thinness that limits how good a camera system Apple can fit in there.
Apple has managed to create a powerful camera on the iPhone, but the challenge is different when it comes to the MacBook Pro. The thinness of the laptop's screen limits the options for mounting a high-quality camera. However, Apple seems to be considering new solutions that could improve the quality of the camera without affecting the aesthetics and functionality of the MacBook.

One possible solution being considered is to place a larger camera in a rotating display. This would allow Apple to integrate a higher-quality camera without having to increase the thickness of the cover. The rotating display could allow the camera to be repositioned according to the user's needs, offering greater flexibility.
The idea of a protruding camera may seem strange, but it could be the solution Apple is looking for to improve the user experience on the MacBook Pro. The ability to reposition the camera could allow users to adjust the camera to their needs, whether it's for video calls or taking photos.

While it's still unclear when or if we'll see this technology in a future MacBook Pro, it's clear that Apple continues to innovate and look for ways to improve its products. The idea of a rotating display with removable cameras is just one example of how the company is trying to push the boundaries of technology and give its users the best possible experience.
