Leaker Claims Upcoming Macs Will All Come With 1080p Webcams

Last week, we saw reports of Apple debuting the M2 chip with a redesigned MacBook Air in 2022, courtesy of Twitter leaker @dylandkt. Said leaker has, over the weekend, made a new claim. In it, they note that upcoming Macs will come with an improved webcam.

More specifically, the leaker claims that the upcoming MacBook Pro, as well as “the entire Mac Lineup” will come with a 1080p webcam. Beyond that, details are a little on the vague side of things. Though the bit about the entire Mac lineup should mean that all variants of the MacBook will be getting the webcam upgrade treatment.

The tweet itself also mentions a video by YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips, which decries laptop webcams in general. With regards to that, merely pushing laptop webcams up from 720p to 1080p wouldn’t really solve that problem. But that’s beside the point.

As 9to5Mac points out, at the moment only the 27-inch iMac of 2020 and the new M1 iMac have a 1080p webcam. Which is a surprisingly small number of products that have it. If the leaker is right, it would mean that Apple’s laptops will get access to better webcams as well.

DualSense Controllers To Come With Two New Colours Next Month

Rumours about the DualSense controllers getting new colourways have been swirling around for the past week. But now, Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed that the rumours are true. The company also said that they will be available starting next month.

The announcement comes via the official PlayStation blog. The two new colourways are called Midnight Black and Cosmic Red. The former is basically an all-black version of the DualSense controller. As for the latter, the white half is swapped with burgundy red. Beyond that, it doesn’t look like there are any other differences. The PlayStation logo is still in all black, and the face buttons are still in grey.

In the blog post, SIE clarified that while both new colours for the DualSense will be available next month, exact dates will vary by location. This sometimes may mean that they won’t even show up in certain markets. We saw this happening with the DualShock 4 back buttons accessory. But with the official PlayStation Asia Facebook page sharing the two new DualSense colours, and the new colours showing up on the Malaysian page of the PlayStation website, the possibility of them arriving here is ever so slightly higher.

Of course, there’s no mention of price anywhere just yet. Ideally we’d like to see them being priced similarly to the standard white DualSense controller. That being said, it’s more likely that the different colours will see a slight premium added, like the way it is for the DualShock 4 controllers.
