Camera + More Advanced Band

The Apple Watch has never had a camera, which makes sense given its form factor. But with the ability to make cellular or audio-only FaceTime calls on the Apple Watch Series 3 and alter, being able to FaceTime someone right from your wrist seems like the next logical step.

Apple may have a solution, per a patent granted earlier this year. And it includes embedded a camera right into a more advanced watch band. Even if that doesn’t come to fruition this year, Apple has other advanced features in mind for future watch bands — including a “tightness” sensor that could ensure that your band is snug enough for accurate heart rate readings.
