Sorta, same body design! Goes to show they're going for margins wherever they can by using off the shelf stuff. I have a hunch it's the lack of space for a better module

i really dont mind the same body design. makes it easier to reuse old accessories, if they changed it every iteration people would claim theyre juicing accessory sales. i actually appreciate they changed the entire computer architecture + keyboard while keeping the same shape lol

Sure, but that's why they've largely kept everything the same sans main board

oh i see what you're saying. i think they couldve improved the module when they moved the air to the 2018 design, it really seems like almost the same camera as the pre-2018 airs

Ya but that's what I mean, they're literally buying the best webcam module/sensor on the market that can fit in the available space constraints. There are vastly better cameras but you have to make the machine thicker to fit the sensor

I'd happily be wrong on this but I'm yet to see anything better than ~10% in a similarly space challenged design!
