Here's maybe what Apple's camera would have looked like if Jony Ive designed it for the Cupertino company. Instead, this one is actually for Leica.
The company revealed the camera via Twitter on Tuesday. It was designed by Ive along with Marc Newson and it is a special edition RED model that will be auctioned off on November 23 to benefit the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Leica also shared initial images and a link to a Flickr gallery showcasing the Leica Digital Rangefinder Camera.
