A new patent presented by Apple is putting all the world's media on alert and it seems that the circle started in June in which it was ensured that the Apple Watch 2 will have a camera to make FaceTime calls would close video. Now, we are all putting our hands to our heads since we would not understand the why the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have the "grain" on the back and now Apple has a much smaller camera in mind.
We do not know if the patent we are talking about will reach a good port but something makes us think that Apple, indeed, seeks to include a small camera in later versions of the Apple Watch. It would not be the first time that a novelty was launched in a product other than the iPhone and that it is later extrapolated to the rest of the range.
The patent that those from Cupertino have presented tries to solve, on paper, as far as we know, the problem of little space to house a camera in future Apple Watch. If we go to loa SmartWatch From the competition we can arrive at that Samsung at the time chose to place the camera on the watch strap, which in the apple world is unthinkable, since from what has been published they are earning more with the strap business than with the device itself.
The patent explains the operation of a small high resolution camera that would have a 2mm long sensor in addition to a spherical lens with an effective focal length inside about 20% of the radius of the lens curvature. In this way, “high resolution” images could be obtained but con poca calidad de imagen. The patent specifies:
The camera is said to be capable of capturing sharp, high-resolution images, and turns it into suitable for use in small devices.
Well, we are in August and right now what we have to wait is the possible launch of the next iPhone in September, that is why we will see if rumors of this possible new camera continue to appear and if it applies both to Apple Watch, to the iPhone and iPad and Macs.
