There is no doubt that Apple is testing the waters to implement Face ID on devices as important to them as the Apple Watch. Any progress in them will be welcomed by the thousands of users that today clearly show the interest and use of the Apple Watch on a daily basis.
Having the Face ID along with smart straps in the Apple Watch of next generations is something that we have been seeing for a long time in rumors and in patents like the latter granted to the Cupertino company a few hours ago. Does this mean that we will soon see an Apple Watch with smart straps and Face ID?
The answer to this question is doubtful at best, since these patents serve much more than the implementation of these technologies in badges. At Apple, as we all know, they are specialists in patenting all kinds of things and this time They have just approved a reference to smart straps and a possible camera on the device screen. This can mean a camera or a camera to unlock the Apple Watch, the Face ID.
As we say in the media, we rush to draw our own conclusions from this type of patents and we dream of the arrival of this type of novelty in the devices, but then we have to implement them and this is something complicated by several factors, the main one due to the size itself. of the necessary components that despite being small they would not be enough to fit in a watch or a strap. Until this is implemented perfectly, we doubt Apple will release something like this on its flagship wearable device. Sensor manufacturing technology is advancing, we will see if one day we have these improvements that Apple has patented in its Apple Watch.
