| At least half of your comment is wrong as the latest model MBP has an ambient light sensor, a camera, and an LED, I'm looking at them. Maybe the Air? |

| They removed the LED? My 2023 model pro still has it. Google is failing me trying to find information about it, though. |

| I don't know whether 2024 models has the LED or not, but there's an unmaskable/global overlay warning for Webcam / Microphone / Location services, and I think they are controlled at Kernel level. You can't bypass these indicators when any software accesses these devices. These warnings have hysteresis and logging. They don't disappear the moment you close the device, and you can see which app is using which device. ...and no, ambient light sensor handles the true tone and brightness. It's not the camera. |

| Can you point me to a link? This is very disturbing to me as I thought they were wired together. I can’t find any source confirming or denying newer than like 2022… |
