    Even assuming this is actually true, then WTF Apple? How shitty are your laptops that they can be damaged by a piece of tape?

      A piece of tape is probably fine. In their support doc they say it’s safe to use a cover less than 0.1mm thick. I feel like they’re more worried about something like this:

    A piece of small tinfoil cutout with invisible tape works for me. No glue residue, costs practically less than a cent in a year. And it is about as thick as your hair strand.

    I have it both on notched phone and laptop. Go suck it feds.

    I also made a rear camera cover for my phone attached to phone armour case a year ago.

    If anyone is interested I can share photos of my DIY covers. Easy to make.

    EDIT: Nevermind, here goes the image.

      Yes please I’ve been looking out for a way to make a removable rear camera cover. Something mite durable than just tape

        I put the image in my above comment. This is my self devised DIY solution using some black chart paper, some cellophane tape, some 3M invisible tape and some aluminum tinfoil. Also a paper cutter for that LED flash hole.

        I have this setup for a year now.

    Don’t put up curtains, if you don’t see anyone then no one is looking inside your house, trust your windows.

    I think I read this likely 2 years ago. Not the article but the recommendation from Apple.

    I’m gonna guess this is because someone put a thick cover on their camera then put their laptop into a tight case or otherwise squeezed it, bending the bezel and cracking the display.
