Apple Explores Camera Integration in Watches for AI Enhancements

Apple is reportedly developing Apple Watches with built-in cameras to enhance AI functionalities, aiming for a 2027 release.

So, here’s the scoop from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman: Apple’s not just stopping at making your wrist a mini command center with the Apple Watch. Nope, they’re eyeing a future where your watch could snap pics or maybe even help you figure out what that weird plant in your garden is. By 2027, both the standard Series and the beefed-up Ultra models might just come with cameras tucked in. And it’s not just about taking photos—think AI magic like Visual Intelligence, where your watch could tell you what’s around you in real time. (Because, let’s face it, sometimes we all need a little help figuring things out.) Oh, and in a move that feels like tech synchronicity, Apple might roll out camera-equipped AirPods around the same time. As for where these cameras will live? Series models could have them sneaked into the display, while the Ultra might sport a side-mounted cam. Talk about a game-changer for wearables.
