Will the Framework 12 have privacy switches for webcam and microphone?

One of the reasons I want to buy a Framework laptop is the security switches for microphone and webcam. Now I know the 13 has these, but will the 12 get them as well?

I’d wait for the 12, since I am not in need of the most powerful machine or the best screen. If it won’t have the switches though I can decide for the 13 now and place an order.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

just going off the pictures and video clips they’ve released, I think they do, I see something that looks like switches in the right place for that, but, as I have not seen more than that, I reserve the right to be wrong.

Thanks for your response, that sounds good. Let’s see if someone from Framework (if they are on here) can confirm that.

Welcome to the community!

That is a good question. I would be interested to have that confirmed as well. The funny thing is that I’ve watched a couple videos about it and they may have even mentioned it, but I now I don’t remember, one way or another. Getting old is…getting old, lol. But if I zoom in on the few pictures that are out there, it seems to have the same two switches for the cam and mic that the FW 13 has. I’m fairly confident that it does. Fingers crossed. They should be releasing more info soon. Hopefully sooner than later.

there should be considering that framework is most likely using the same webcam as on the 13 and 16

In the new video that is publised an hour ago or so it is not clear if it is there. But there is something. I think that they will tell it in a week at the pre-sale. Hopefully some earlier.
