What if Apple did the same, with an iOS-powered camera?
Smartphones have tiny lenses, and even tinier sensors, making them inferior to almost any purpose-made camera.
But they have a secret weapon.

Theres a computer inside.
Imagine, then, what Apple could do with that power inside a regular mirrorless camera.
The Camera
First, lets set out the kind of camera were talking about.

It would have some buttons and dials, and of course a gorgeous retina touch-screen on the back.
This camera would have either a zoom lens or interchangeable lenses.
So far, its like any other mirrorless camera available today.

The Benefits
The immediate practical benefits are obvious.
Then, youd be able to share them to Instagram or wherevertry that with a regular camera.
And all photos would be location-tagged, faces would be recognized, and so on.
Computational Photography
The smaller the sensor, the worse the image it can produce.
Bigger sensors have more pixels, and/or bigger pixels, and can collect more light.
At the beginning, it was all about getting a decent image.
You’ll also have the aid of things like focus correction on a smart camera."
With a better camera, these software tricks could be incredible.
An Apple camera could be amazing, but it will never happen.
“That would be some very opinionated camera,“technology journalist Andrea Neporitold Lifewire via Twitter.
And people seem happy enough with that.
