Apple's Jony Ive designs a Leica camera you will never own

The Leica M for (RED) has a lot of recognisable Ive touches. The "laser machined aluminum body" and "anodised aluminium outer shell" strongly resemble a current generation Mac Pro, Apple's most advanced desktop computers.

Also evident is Ive's tendency to focus on simplicity. The designers removed a number of features from a normal type 240 Leica M, the basis for their take. Most importantly, there's no hotshoe, the slot which accepts accessories like a flash, and there's no port for an external viewfinder. Just like the original iPod was criticised for lacking features its competitors offered, Ive's Leica focuses on the basics.
