Apple Watch Series 8 likely to have a built-in camera? Here's what we know
The patent was filed a few years ago, which has piqued the interest of many who believe that this year's Apple Watch Series 8 will be the first to have the function. However, patent filings are often done so that no one else can subsequently claim a patent for the technique.
FollowApple Watch is the world's most popular smartwatch, with millions sold each year. However, the corporation is not content to rest on its laurels, and according to a recent claim, Apple may soon add a camera to its famous Watch. According to a patent submitted by the Cupertino-based company, the Apple Watch might include a built-in camera integrated within the digital crown.

Including a camera on the Apple Watch is an intriguing step, particularly for a business like Apple. Having it on the digital crown increases the component's worth, but we're not clear how the business intends to use having a sensor in that place.
The patent application highlights the Apple Watch's camera on the right side, which can record the view surrounding it. As a result, you must wear the Apple Watch on your left hand or else the camera will be facing you. Furthermore, Apple will need to modify the WatchOS platform to accommodate the hardware component on the device.
