I'm guessing it's because people mostly use the cameras on their laptops for face-timing with people and use their phones more like others would use an actual video camera with which they do a lot more than just face-timing.

I suppose and perhaps anyone wanting 4K from a laptop can just buy a 3rd party 4k webcam and clip to the top of laptop screen and maybe for less than the up charge might be for a built in one ?

As far as 4K --All I know there is IMO a fairly noticeable visual difference between my newer music videos shot with my iPhone in 4K to my older video's shot with my iMac web cam. Not only sharper image but the depth seems more defined especially when you click YouTube to full screen view I do not know what the "Continuity Camera feature (iPhone as Mac webcam)" is ? I shoot the video on my iPhone and then export it to my iMac via the lighting to USB cable Here is an older video done with the iMac webcam in 1080 And a newer one my iPhone in 4K 30 fps

For me, having a built in webcam is a "spare" to have handy when you need a camera or web cam at short notice, but I strongly prefer to have a camera separate from my computer or screen to I can place it with more freedom. Would be the same (for me) if we were to talk about computer microphones. Nice that they're there, but I want to use a better mics I can place myself.

I do have Monterey (not sure of dot version) , but as noted my phone is an older 10 S Have been toying with idea of new phone but have not bothered yet. I was hoping to use both the Phone and iMac for a multi-cam situation but am conflicted with 1080 restriction on the iMac

Yeah, the webcams on ALL the recent MacBooks stink.
I'm a permanent remote employee so I spend my day on Teams calls through my M1 MBP and since I run it in "clamshell mode" connected to dual 4K LG monitors, I needed an external webcam. I settled on https://reincubate.com/camo/ and use an old iPhone 11 and the video quality is incredible. Yeah, like Kevin for my music videos, I use my iPhone 12 Pro Max (Max Pro?) to shoot the video (I recently switched to 4K) and just transfer it to my MacBook to sync up with the audio from Logic. Back on topic, my personal laptop is the recent M2 Air which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. It only has 8GB of RAM but I've never hit any limits with Logic for what I record. The battery lasts quite awhile and I love that they went back to MagSafe (which frees up both USB-C ports if you need them) My work laptop is the 14" M1 MBP which I love as well (although I just use it for Teams calls, Slack, and Office ![]() Apple took a big gamble moving away from Intel, but I'm glad they did. Oh, and I also recently purchased the new iPad Air with runs with the M1 chip, and I also am a big fan (especially coming from an old 3rd generation Air) The multitasking/Stage Manager on the iPad needs a little work but it's getting there.

So this is a bit disheartening
Some audible fan noise even at idle reported over on the Mac Rumors forum apparently only the M2 Pro chip Mini config. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads...#post-31910391

By multiple people apparently. I wonder if this is a issue with all of them or if, like the Studio Mac Max, it's only a problem on some machines.

For people considering the Mac Mini Pro, this video might be of some interest.

So I have decided to order a Mac Mini Pro M2 with the 1 TB hard drive and 32 GB Ram upgrade. Should start working with this early next week. I'm just hoping all my plug-ins will work seamlessly with Digital Performer in the New Ventura OS. I might need to run Rosetta for some things but not sure at this point.
