Power On newsletter<\/a>, claims Apple will add cameras to future Apple Watch models as well. With AI assistance and input from the camera, the smartwatch could provide relevant, contextual information.<\/p>\n“As part of this plan, Apple is considering adding cameras to both its standard Series watches and Ultra models. The current idea is to put the camera inside the display of the Series version, like the front-facing lens on the iPhone. The Ultra will take a different approach, with the camera lens sitting on the side of the watch near the crown and button,” says Gurman.<\/p>\n
Visual Intelligence will power visual AI features<\/h3>\n
Apple will seemingly be able to put the camera on the side of the Ultra because of more internal space. This will let users point the watch\u2019s camera at an object to access more information. However, do not expect to use the camera for making FaceTime calls.<\/p>\n
The report claims that Apple will heavily rely on Visual Intelligence to power such AI features on its future devices. While the feature may not impress you in its current iteration, the company has big plans for it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
