The connector that the Apple Watch has in one of the areas where the straps are connected has always been a source of speculation, due to the supposed use that it could be given. When almost two years have passed since its official presentation, We still don't know for sure if Apple plans to use it to add new features through the straps. Much has been rumored about it, but Apple at the moment has not launched any strap that allows you to use this type of connection. For now and as long as Apple does not prove it, the usefulness of this connection remains a mystery.
The possibility that Apple added in this second version of the Apple Watch a camera to take pictures or video calls has always been up in the air, but as we could see at the moment Apple has not decided. The one that has decided to get down to work is Glide, through a strap for the Apple Watch that integrates two cameras: one of 8 mpx to take pictures and another of 2 mpx to make selfies and video calls.
The cost of the strap is 149 dollars if we already make the reservationas that top end will be $ 249 when it is commercially available. The expected date of departure of this strap is in spring, so there is still plenty of time to see if Apple really allows this manufacturer to make use of the existing connection inside the strap or if, on the contrary, communication is made through bluetooth.
The strap will be charged together with the Apple Watch through a stand that will go along with the strap (for all those who reserve this strap) but will have an additional price of $ 60. This stand will allow charge both Apple Watch and strap together It incorporates its own autonomy in addition to 8 GB of storage so you can continue taking pictures if the Apple Watch runs out of battery.
8GB of RAM? It will be 8GB of storage….
Correct. A slip. Corrected.
Greetings and thanks for the note.
