An Apple Smart Ring may be coming sooner than later, as a recently uncovered patent reveals. Last month, Apple received approval for an ‘Augmented Reality-based Measuring App’, which according to the patent sketches, is a way to determine a user’s wrist measurement so they can more easily determine the correct Apple Watch band size for them.


Apple Smart Ring Patent
Apple’s first patent for a smart ring was granted back in 2015 and if this device is related, it should have its own touchscreen interface and motions sensors as well. If the touchscreen rumor is true, it would be worn on the index finger and controlled with the thumb, while haptic feedback would be used for notifications. Maybe someone will create a LEGO version, like this person who created a functional LEGO computer brick.
