Apple Watch: AI Camera Features Coming Soon?
Future Apple Watch models might include cameras to enhance AI assistant features, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This addition would move the Apple Watch closer to being a comprehensive AI wearable.
The envisioned camera would likely be a subtle, front-facing design, similar to those on iPhones, rather than a bulky unit. These cameras might not be for traditional photography or FaceTime calls. Instead, they could support AI functionalities like Visual Intelligence, offering real-time information and assistance.
