As per recent of update from Bloomberg’s Power On By Mark Gruman, Apple has started development process of several new projects, one of which is a new Apple watch with a built in camera. As of yet there have been rumors as to the fact that the watch might be up for a launch by 2027.
In the recent Power-on Newsletter, Gruman purported that Apple plans to add camera modules in the screen area of the future Apple Watch series model. It was also revealed that the future Apple watch Ultra might have a camera along the right side digital crown.
As per the expectations the cameras would not be conducive towards facetime, those developments might take a little more time. Instead as per the source of the revelation the cameras would enable the watch to have visual intelligence the feature would further be instilled on all future Apple Watches. These features would help the users possibly point it towards a restaurant or a bill board and your watch would showcase all the information it can fetch up about it over the internet on the watch.
Visual intelligence recently became a feature of all the iPhone 16 models last year. Beyond that a few revelations before the recent one had also revealed that Apple might have profound plans to add cameras to the AirPods models as well. These cameras would not be the full fledged sensors that we have in the phones. Rather these would only be sensors that intercept prompts or actively intercepts data that can further improve the user experience.
Air Pods With Cameras As Well
Beyond the Apple Watch there have also been rumor’s that Apple might soon be establishing the presence of tiny cameras on Apple iPod as well. Beyond Gruman, a resolute indication that was shared by supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also revealed that Apple plans to mass produce and sell new Air Pods with infra red cameras by 2026. As per Gruman the infra red receiver would work similarly as that of face Id receivers on Apple iPhone. These new features would quite possibly help the users have in air gesture control allowing users to control and modulate the volume through gestures in the air.
