PLEASE DON'T PUT A CAMERA IN THE APPLE WATCH

• http://www.wired.com, BRIAN BARRETT

 But just in case you're seriously considering this, please allow me the opportunity to convince you to do otherwise. 

Let's establish, first of all, that the idea of a FaceTime-enabled Apple Watch 2 would seem unthinkable if it weren't for the person who mentioned it: Mark Gurman, the Oracle of Cupertino, an Apple rumormonger so consistently correct that it would be more accurate to say he mongers in truths, or at least strong likelihoods. On Thursday, Gurman wrote:

"Apple's current considerations call for a video camera to be integrated into the top bezel of the Apple Watch 2, enabling users to make and receive FaceTime calls on the move via their wrists."

This means we must allow for at least the possibility you will pair the Watch's digital crown with a camera lens tiara. And I get it; after seeing iPad sales deteriorate without headline-grabbing new features, there's understandable pressure to give the Watch sequel a significant spec bump.
