Apple published a new support document in July to warn MacBook owners not to close their laptops when a camera cover is on, as it could damage the display. Apple reminds MacBook owners that the FaceTime HD camera has an indicator light that always alerts the user when the camera is on.
As we’ve all become increasingly concerned with data privacy, covers for laptop webcams have become a necessary purchase for many laptop owners. The problem is that most laptops weren’t designed with accessories being attached to the display in mind, no matter how small, which is why Apple deemed it necessary to issue a warning on its website last week. As spotted by MacRumors on Friday, Apple now has a support page dedicated to telling MacBook owners to avoid closing their laptops when a cover is on the camera so as not to risk damaging the screen.
