Sources close to the American company, Apple, revealed that the latter had obtained a patent for the Apple Watch strap release mechanism that allows it to be used with a built-in camera.
While gadget patents don’t guarantee anything, they can provide a glimpse into the areas Apple is exploring for the future.
This is the third patent related to the camera obtained by Apple in recent years, but so far it has not made any change to the watch.

According to the patent, it appears that there is a strap with two sections and a “nest” part, and the concept is to create a quick and convenient way to remove the watch from the strap.
The patents related to the camera in the watch previously obtained by Apple offered different positions for the camera, the latest of which was in the body of the watch itself.
A previous patent proposed the presence of a rotatable camera integrated into the tip of the strap, while another patent proposed the presence of the camera inside the Digital Crown.
It is worth noting that there is already a third-party Apple Watch accessory called “Wristcam” that works similarly.
And many companies tried in the past to put cameras in their smart watches, but that experience aroused the anger and suspicion of societies because of the possibility of taking pictures in secret and threatening the privacy of others.
