There was a time when Apple really cared about Macs having better video chat quality than any other computer you could buy. Almost 20 years ago, it introduced the iSight Firewire webcam, and it was a revelation. For $149 (less than the best webcams today!), it delivered clarity and audio quality far superior to that of all those PC webcams.
Fast-forward 20 years, and Apple’s just not keeping pace. The webcams built into Macs these days are fuzzy, grainy, and low-res. Some are still capable of only 720p webcam from that has the same video resolution, and usually far superior color and clarity. Only now are Mac webcams getting to be on par with the USB webcam I’ve used for a decade!
