Check It Out: Block Your Webcams with These Magnetic Covers
The answer is…no.
I tried a couple of refrigerator magnets, one of those flexible rubber ones, and a more compact button magnet. Neither would stick to the MacBook. Only the button magnet would kind-of hold to my iMac, but not over the camera. It would only stay in place an inch or so to either side of the camera.
I’m guessing they are using a really strong rare-earth magnet, or something.
Let me know if you test it out, geoduck. 🙂
Interested me: That’s cool. I never knew you could stick a magnet to the front of the Mac. This is far better than my dab of electrical tape.
Cheap-ass me: I wonder if a refrigerator magnet would do the same thing.
