GoPro's disclosure that it may not survive reflects a brutal margin collapse for consumer hardware makers—the company's profit margins have eroded as smartphone computational photography improved and the addressable market for dedicated cameras contracted. This is structural, not execution. Device manufacturers that sell physical products to individuals face a squeeze from both sides: AI-powered software commodifying their core function, and the rising cost of AI infrastructure limiting consumer demand. When people's pockets already contain a computational camera, and when AI training concentrates capital spending toward data centers rather than consumer electronics, even well-established hardware brands become vulnerable.
