In early December, reports of problems with the Facetime camera emerged from various users.
According to Apple, the Facetime camera on the new MacBook Air offers HD resolution (1280 x 720). Apparently not every model delivers on the manufacturer's promises. Users have complained about blurry images in numerous forums. Some of these webcam images are also significantly darker - according to various users. Such reports are also becoming more frequent in Apple's support forum.
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
For this reason, the news platform MacRumors.com tested the FaceTime camera of various MacBook models and came to the conclusion that the differences in quality are not that significant. There is indeed a slight discrepancy, but not as dramatic as many users have described.
In the tests, the MacBook Air performed slightly worse than the MacBook Pro, as expected - even the Pro version was not spared from image noise. According to the test results, only the iMac Pro offers the best Facetime experience. The quality is said to be far better.
