Apple is one of the technology companies that registers and has the most patents in the world, these patents do not mean that we have to see any product or function related to it necessarily. The case of the new patents shown by the appleinsider website are related to the smartwatch of the Cupertino boys and hopefully if they end up being used in the future in the smart watch.
These patents reveal some possible functions that the port strategically placed on the watch has and that allows employees to connect the device to perform a diagnosis of the same. This port is located where the straps attach to the Apple Watch and It could bring new features in terms of functions.
I already said that Apple registers many patents and if you are a follower of the brand you will already know that many of them remain in that, patents. But in this case and seeing the evolution or possible evolution of the Apple Watch, it is possible that they can end up being used. It is also true that since the existence of this diagnostic port is known, it is said that it could house accessories and at the moment we have nothing new, but now with these patents revealed we see that the company itself has thought about it as well and this is good.
Straps with a small secondary screen, SIM cards, cameras, GPS or even sensors to measure temperature, are some of the options that could be added to the watch straps if they end up using this port. It is also possible that this will end up arriving in the second version of the watch that some media say would arrive at the end of this year, but let's not lose the north and we will see if more rumors appear about the new watch or if Apple will end up using this accessory connector yours and third parties.
