Apple is considering the idea of adding cameras driven by visual intelligence to its ‘smartwatch’, Apple Watch, a step with which you seek to know the context of users to provide them with more options, improve the compatibility of this device with others of the brand thanks to visual intelligence and boost it in the market of the ‘wearables’ with artificial intelligence (AI).
Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman has valued that Apple will add to an “avalanche” of electronic accessories with AI in the market, from Ai Pin, from Humane-which has recently discontinued its production-even the Ray-Ban smart glasses manufactured by goal.
With this, he recalled that these devices are based on the idea of using integrated cameras and microphones to support the AI and provide context on the user’s environment, something that reached the company’s catalog with iPhone 16 last year, at which time Apple began working in this field.
Specifically, with the visual intelligence function, linked to the camera control interface. In this way, if the camera button is kept pressed, an interface will be accessed where you can take a photo and analyze it with chatgpt or the search for Google.
It is also possible to summarize or translate text and identify objects, fematic places or animals, as Gurman recalled, which has recognized that it is an unknown proque funionality is only available in the commented model of ‘smartphone’, although it will be expanded to more generations with the launch of iOS 18.4, next month.
To complement these functions, Apple is working on new Apple Watch with cameras, thanks to which the device can know the context that surrounds users and use artificial intelligence to provide information of interest.
The journalist, who has advanced that these models are probable are still “to several generations to reach the market,” said the Cupertino company is considering Add these lenses both standard watches (Series) Like the most advanced models (Ultra).
Depending on the product, the camera will be integrated in one place or another. At the moment, Apple has thought about placing it inside the screen in the series version, while the ultra will feature it on a side, that is, near the crown and the button.
Thanks to this site, the users of this second model will only need to bring their doll to an object to scan it, while those who use the standard version must turn it to point to that object with the ‘smartwatch’ panel.
Gurman has finally added that, to favor visual intelligence in his watches, the firm must improve its AI. It is expected to get the expected results In 2027, when the launch of the AirPods with integrated camera is also planned.
Apple Watch is delayed
The journalist has also advanced in his weekly newsletter This clock has been devised to offer a more appropriate option for daily use Of these ‘wearables’ by children.

It could also be offered in a widest variety of colors, beyond the gray and silver it currently offers in the Apple Watch.
Gurman has now said that the ‘smartwatch’ manufacturing team has encountered some costs of costs and quality with this change to plastic. In addition, this ‘wearable’ is expected Come with a “jump” at the processor levelbecause the current series “is stuck in the speeds of the era 2020”.
