Is the smart ring developed by Apple worth buying?

Apple media Appleinsider reported that Apple may be developing the next wearable device-Apple Smart Ring. It may have some functions of the smart watch Apple Watch, and it can also be used to manipulate nearby wireless devices. On Tuesday, the US Patent and Trademark Office certified an Apple patent entitled "Device, Method and User Interface for Wearable Electronic Rings".

Because a plurality of transmitters included in the device can perform more accurate motion detection.

In addition, it also has a touch screen that supports text input methods similar to Apple Watch. Apple submits a large number of patent applications every week, and not all concepts can be transformed into final products, but Appleinsider believes that they do show the areas of interest that Apple is studying and developing.
