Apple has been dominating the smartwatch market for years, so it only makes sense for the Cupertino-based tech giant to move on to the next best thing in wearable circles: smart rings. As expected from the company, there is little to know about the upcoming Apple Smart Ring ahead of its launch; what we do know can be found below, including leaked specs, potential release date, and expected features.
Apple first filed for a smart ring patent in 2015(!), and since then, there's been a steady stream of rumours circulating about the upcoming wearable. The old patents show a "touch-sensitive display with side buttons and a dial control easily manipulated by the thumb when worn on the forefinger of the right hand" – quite a different concept from the smart rings we see today.
