Apple received a patent for creating a camera for action shots and sports. In consequence of this news capitalization manufacturer similar patent "Apple" Empire of GoPro cameras decreased billion dollars.

The Registrar of patents and trademarks of the United States (USPTO) has granted Apple a patent for creating miniature mountable action camera, which, according to unconfirmed estimates, will be competing cameras made by companies GoPro and Polaroid. It can be used for underwater shooting, it will be equipped with a microphone for ordinary and for underwater recording audio tracks.

In addition, the camera from Apple will be armed with advanced remote control, will also be more resistant to external influences. It can be mounted on a bike helmet or handlebars of a motorcycle.

According to reliable sources, The Wall Street Journal, Apple has filed a patent application in 2012, intending thus to enter the market of extreme cameras and to compete with the GoPro. It is told that Apple used developments Kodak company, whose patent was acquired in 2013. Therefore, we cannot say that Cupertino deliberately registered the patent for the creation of the camera.

At the end of the trading session, shares a little bit older, but all were just 12% cheaper. At the moment capitalization GoPro was 6,27 billion, and the company's share price almost twice the price. How to convince the experts of the market, it is too early to say that GoPro will have to compete with Apple since the launch of the action camera is unlikely to be a logical continuation of the product line "Apple" of the Empire.
