Smartwatch with a Notch: Facebook’s Meta to compete with Apple

Hey everyone!! As a tech enthusiast, myself and some of my peers have been hearing a single word from the break of day, and that word is ‘Meta’. Undoubtedly, that is what has brought you here as well. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook has declared that they are rebranding their company as “Meta”. It will officially become the parent name of their company. Through careful analysis of their structure, you can see that the company’s name reflects what they refer to as the ‘Metaverse’.

The chosen name signifies the strategy for a mixed reality platform that consolidates all of the company’s applications in one location. Consequently, you will be able to access all the products of the parent company in one place or on a single device, potentially. Correspondingly, an image of Meta’s new smartwatch has been rapidly spreading throughout the network. And we were able to observe the device with an integrated camera.

The leaked image of the new smartwatch was discovered inside the company’s application that they utilize to manage Ray-Ban Stories. Additionally, they have a pair of smart glasses that can capture and upload content to Facebook and Instagram. Transitioning to the leaked image of Meta’s new smartwatch, it appears to have a square-shaped display with rounded corners and slim bezels. However, what is even more fascinating is the inclusion of a camera in a smartwatch, particularly in the form of a notch.

Indeed, a notch on a smartwatch, which is something we typically associate with smartphones. The exact hardware specifications of the watch remain unknown at this time. According to rumors from Bloomberg, the smartwatch will have interchangeable straps and certain video conferencing applications. Considering the presence of an integrated camera, it is expected to offer video conferencing capabilities.

It is one of the significant upgrades that are currently absent in the latest smartwatches from Apple and Samsung. Based on the current reports, we can anticipate Meta launching its smartwatch in the upcoming year of 2023. However, the final decision is still unclear, as per the reliable sources. Meta aims to directly compete with Apple by offering support for both iOS and Android.
