Apple should get up on that.
Curiosities high resolution cameras are mounted on it's mast which has not yet been deployed. The only images we have seen so far are from low resolution fish eye collision avoidance cameras mounted on the corners of the rover, and they are only shooting at 1/4 their normal resolution right now, and they have not removed the dust covers from the lenses which are filthy from the landing, (and will be removed soon). within a week there are supposed to be high rez color images available to look at.
