Apple has received a patent for a releasable attachment for the Apple Watch that would give users quick access to a rear-facing camera.
titled"Watch Having A Release Mechanism." The patent details a method that allows Apple Watch users to have access to a camera located on the bottom of the device. The patent envisions a special watch band with a quick-release feature that would allow the watch to easily be disconnected from the band allowing the user to take pictures and videos with the rear-facing camera.
When the user is done with the camera, he/she puts the watch back in the base of the band and it locks in. This is a much different Apple Watch camera system . That patent covered a flexible optical sensor that was placed at the end of an Apple Watch band. The band would flex to help point the optical sensor at the subject of a photo or video.The patent notes that the watch would attach to the nest portion of the band using a releasable attachment such as a latch or a magnet. This would allow"the watch housing to be removed from the nest portion without a need to remove the entire watch band from the wrist...
