Apple Ring research points to dozens of uses far beyond health monitoring
Apple's latest research into an Apple Ring doesn't just suggest what it looks like, but also positions it at the center of iPhone and Mac control, and as a remote to household appliances.
Skip forward nearly a quarter of a century and a newly-revealed patent application suggests that Apple now thinks a Smart Ring could be at the heart of everything we do. Without going in to specific use cases, Apple says that for instance, "a ring device can easily be brought into close proximity with near-field communications tags in the user's environment." Or because the ring would have a microphone, a user could vaguely gesture in the direction of their Apple TV set top box, telling it to shut up, and the device would mute.
