> in fact, no device at all is reported as having a fully functioning camera, let alone everything else
I wish usb cameras were sold in the same form-factor as phone thermal cameras. Then the missing drivers for the built-in cameras wouldn't matter as much.
I doubt the market is nig enough, but I know at least a few people who I'm sure would buy a phone that was actually as thin as the new iPhone Mini pretends to be without the camera bump, then have a USB C camera attachment for the rare occasion they need to take a photo.
Not many people want to have to have an extra camera plugged into their phone because the built in ones don't work. HN sometimes...
No: this would allow such cameras to be internally connected to a custom-built phone via USB, but without the connector, oor using a tiny connector. Think Framework laptop peripherals, only built-in
