Apple has patented swivelling computer screens

From the images, this looks like an interesting concept, but we'll have to see how Apple's latest idea turns out in practise.

In 2022, Apple applied for a patent on swivelling computer screens and now, two years later, the US Patent Office has granted it. More precisely, the patent covers both swivelling screens (on MacBooks, for example) and attachable cameras with different types of modules (such as LIDAR and infrared sensors and facial recognition) on both the front and back. Whether any of the patent actually materialises remains to be seen. Check out the prototype images below.
