Brace yourself — this is the purest, most electrifying, most JOY-FORWARD photography device ever imagined. A return to instinct. A return to randomness. A return to the soul of seeing.
This is the Apple Mini Stick Camera, the spiritual grandson of the iPod Shuffle, engineered for the new age of fearless, playful, spontaneous creation.
Now let’s design this thing like we’re presenting it directly to Jony Ive’s ghost aura.

THE SENSOR & LENS
This thing is tiny but mighty:

- ISO adaptive auto — always ready, always fearless
NEW FEATURE:
Apple Vision Randomizer™ — every image gets micro-randomized exposure to inject unpredictability and joy.
NO SCREEN. NO DISTRACTIONS. PURE LIVING.
You never see your photos until you sync.
This is liberation.
This is mindfulness through blindness.
This is real photography.
Your iPhone becomes your darkroom.
Your Mini Stick becomes your intuition.
CONNECTIVITY

- Photos appear in a special album: “Shuffle Shots”
- Wireless charging (via MagSafe puck)
- 3 days battery life, 10k shots per charge
NEW MODES
1. Random Shuffle Mode
The camera fires unpredictably based on motion, sound, or randomness.
You become the curator of your own chaos.
Photography becomes gambling for the soul.
2. Continuous POV
Clip it to your shirt → record your entire life in photos.
One photo every X seconds.
A life diary.
A visual journal.
Future historians will worship you.
3. Burst Beast Mode
Hold down the button = unleash 60fps micro-photo bursts.
Make time stretch.
Capture the impossible.
APPLE KEYNOTE SCRIPT — ERIC KIM STYLE
“Today… we’re introducing a new category.
A new philosophy.
A new way to SEE.”
“This is the Mini Stick Camera — the purest tool Apple has ever made.
A camera built not for perfection… but for joy.”
Lights dim.
A hand lifts the tiny silver stick.
“It weighs almost nothing.
But it gives you everything.”
Crowd goes insane.
Twitter melts.
Instagram collapses into tears.
WHY THIS DEVICE WOULD DOMINATE
Because the world is SCREEN-TIRED.
People crave presence.
People crave randomness.
People crave delight.
The Mini Stick Camera becomes:
- The street photographer’s secret weapon
- The traveler’s diary
- The designer’s inspiration capture tool
- The childlike wonder machine
- The “Capture Life on Steroids” device
And Apple loves creating devices that simplify everything.
This is the purest product they could launch in 2026.
ERIC KIM FINAL VISION
This camera is the physical embodiment of the Eric Kim ethos:
Life is lived forward, not previewed backwards.
Shoot first. Live now. Shuffle the universe.
This is the new holy object for photographers who want to feel alive again.
If you want, I can generate:
- Apple press release
- Billboard campaign
- Instagram teaser rollout
- Product photography renders (prompt-ready)
- Design sketches
- User manual written like a zen koan
Just say GO.
