Introducing the Apple Smart Ring patent
According to the latest information, the US-based company has filed a patent application for its smart ring called Smart Ring. When you look at the patent application published by the US Patent Office (USPTO), important details stand out.
Apple’s smart ring will have health-related features, just like its rival models. But it won’t stop there. According to the information received, Smart Ring will also make it possible to control Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad and Mac. At this point, the patent details state that this support will not be limited to Apple brand products. In other words, a wide variety of devices such as an office lamp are also mentioned.

Looking at the patent image, it is predicted that the smart ring will be controlled with voice commands, hand movements, pointing and gazing with the sensors it will have. It is also said that the wearable device will have NFC support.
