Apple has different innovation departments for each of the products it sells, one of the areas with the most development being the one dedicated to the Apple Watch. In this article we are going to see the latest Apple patent for its Smart Watch.
More technology and synchronization on your Watch
The patent shows a camera on the bottom surface of the Apple Watch. At first, we may think that it is not the best option to place the camera and especially in the position where it is located, since it can point towards the hand or towards the wrist. The patent, on the other hand, contains a very interesting secret.
This technological innovation would not only focus on the Watch, but would also include the bracelet, which would be divided into two segments. On the one hand, the strap, and on the other hand, the Watch and the strap. This division of components will allow the unit to be easily placed and removed. In this way, it allows the watch to act as a camera, since it will be very easy to remove it from the wrist, take a photo and put it back on it.
Have this technology in hand, it makes it much easier to take a photo with our loved ones or friends and above all, generate a new way of interacting with the Apple Watch. Finally, it is not the first time that Apple registers a patent for a new Apple Watch with the built-in camera, since in 2022 it also registered a new integration of it, in the crown of the watch. We also do not have an expected date for the launch of the product, although it seems clear that the new generation of Apple Watch will not be included, since the rumor mill does not indicate anything about it.
For which device will this version be available?
Including a camera in an Apple Watch is not easy, especially when it comes to such a compact device. Therefore, the incorporation of this technology will be carried out in a descending and progressive manner, that is, the first device will be the Apple Watch Ultra, Apple’s most advanced Watch, secondly, the standard Series versions, specifically, the series 8 onwards, the great current alternative to the Ultra series.
Where it is possible that it will not be integrated is in the Apple Watch SE, since it is a device with the previous design and with reduced features, so it is possible that it will only stay for the most advanced models of the range and continue to maintain its relationship. quality-price of the cheapest Apple watch.
The future will tell if this new patent ends up being a reality or simply remains another attempt by the innovation department to include something revolutionary. Innovations do not occur overnight, but rather require time and, above all, they require a lot of resources to be able to carry out the project without unexpected setbacks that could cause the project to fail, preventing allocating resources to improve other components. Apple continues to innovate, continues to invest in R&D, although not all research comes to light. This doesn’t just happen at Apple, but it happens to all technology companies.
Leave us in the comments if you think we will see an Apple Watch with a camera included.
