I continue to find myself thinking: why doesn't Apple create a brand new product that flips the script here? Instead of dealing with the very hard limitations of physics of trying to jam ever-better cameras into a skinny phone form factor, how about develop the best camera form factor they can and glom the phone functionality onto that?
No, that's not hold a camera up to an ear to make a call (buds with mic for phone calls).
No, this isn't an idea about killing the phone and replacing it with a camera. This would be a
new product where the entire focus could be on maximizing the camera innovations. The whole phone + iPod + Internet device parts just needs a good-sized screen on the back.
Like photographers have for generations, this camera + phone hybrid (instead of phone + camera hybrid) hangs around the neck or shoulder on a strap instead of being a skinny brick in a pocket...
In exchange for that inconvenience, all of the skinny brick limitations would come off of maximizing the camera picture, video & sound quality... resulting in much better pictures, videos and sound.
Would I be the only person interested in such a product?
