Ask HN: Why doesn’t Apple make a standalone camera?

I’ve been wondering this a lot lately. Apple’s photo processing is just phenomenal. (You could probably say the same about other high end smartphone makers too) Moreover, popular camera software and build quality is just solidly “okay” in my experience. My thought is that if Apple were to produce full-size cameras, they would be far better than anything else on the market. I would probably buy one immediately. I’m wondering why they haven’t done it. Maybe making cameras is really hard? Cameras are too much of a commodity and the market is really saturated? Full size lenses are hard? Not enough profit margins? Maybe it would cannibalize iPhone sales? I’m curious to know what others think about a full-size Apple camera.
