There has been talk of an Apple Smart ring for years. Since 2015, the tech giant has filed several patent applications that describe such wearable tech. But the latest one suggests that it's not only thinking about our fingers.
According to the language in the new patent, the company isn't ruling anything out. Really not anything. What could become Apple's next wearable after the Apple Watch and Vision Pro is described as an "electronic system with ring device" that could be worn "around a user's wrist, arm, leg, ankle, neck, head, and/or other body part." Any other? There aren't many parts left, which makes it sound like Apple could be leaving the door open to enter a very different market (see the best Apple deals for its current offerings).
