A patent for an Apple ring was published – so what is this iThing, and how might we use it?
What is it?
PatentlyApple tells us the ring incorporates “touch-sensitive surfaces, gesture sensors, and/or voice-input recognition, a camera, microphone and more.” The patent goes on to explain the ring is for those who need a, “more discreet, safer, more efficient, or more ergonomic way to interact with touch pads or touch screens.” The description also notes wireless power recharging and biometric sensors could comprise part of the device. I like to think of the ring as being part iPhone, part Magic Mouse and part iWatch.
