Just because the hardware would improve doesn't mean the UI would improve.
Digital cameras have killer hardware, but they still have the same crappy menu systems they had when they were first introduced in the 90's.
You absolutely need extremely rare talent to produce original & creative ideas like what was used in the iPhone, and the digital camera makers have absolutely none of that talent.
Yes, the world would continue to use clunky desktop-oriented WindowsCE/Blackberry/Treo phones today without Apple. They really were original and unique to the industry in how they completely changed its course.
Also, never take advice from Phil Schiller.
- Inconel 9y agoI'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but what in your opinion makes the menu systems in digital cameras so crappy? I have an older Canon digital SLR, and while the rear LCD isn't as big, bright, or high res as newer cameras, and it lacks touch support, I generally find the menu system pretty nice. It's fairly information dense and has dedicated buttons for a whole host of features so that you don't have to go digging through a bunch of hamburger menus.
- dpark 9y agoDigital cameras already have a great interface for most users. It's single button click. The menus and dials are for expert users who don't want a more simplified interface because it's more efficient for them to learn the dense interface that novices find confusing.
