Apple often files unique patents for its products like iPhones, MacBooks, and even its highly-anticipated electric car, and while they may or may not see the light of the day, they sound fun (at least on paper). The tech giant has now filed a recent patent, which aims to integrate a camera into the Apple Watch. Check out the details below right now!
Apple was recently granted a patent, titled “Watch having a camera” by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In the patent, the company describes a way to integrate a camera into the Apple Watch either by using a detachable housing or fitting the camera lens into the existing Digital Crown of the Apple Watch.
“[A] watch can include a rotatable dial, such as a rotatable crown used for digital inputs. A camera can be included in the assembly to allow for images to be captured through an aperture extending through the dial,” the patent reads further.
