Apple Granted Patent For GoPro-Style Camera

Apple Inc AAPL has been granted a patent for a superior GoPro Inc. GRPO style camera, according to Patently Apple.

“In one implementation, Apple's invention could directly move into GoPro's territory as the patent specifically mentions the weaknesses of the GoPro devices.

“Specifically, the patent notes that the new camera system could be secured to various objects, such as a bike helmet or scuba mask, or mounted to the handlebars of a motorcycle or the front of a surfboard. The new camera system also notes that an iPhone (smartphone) could be used under water to take pictures and record sounds in a water environment,” according to the report.

Apple Inc. recently traded at $111.39, up 1.96 percent.
