Apple continues to expand its patent portfolio. Recently it became known that the Coopertinos have registered a new application, which describes an advanced strap for the Apple Watch with a built-in camera.
Engineers suggest placing the camera module at one end of the strap. If the user needs to take a picture, the bracelet can simply be unbuttoned. Thus, owners of apple smartwatches do not have to twist their wrist to get a good frame.
In addition, the patent states that the watch can be equipped with a dual camera. In this case, the modules for shooting will be located on different ends of the bracelet. However, the illustrations to the patent do not show such a decision.
It is worth noting that the Coopertinos actively patent different ideas related to the Apple Watch. Over the past few years, Apple has received at least a dozen patents that describe various interesting accessories or new features for smartwatches. However, so far none of these developments has been fully implemented in serial models.
