Will have to use it, but first take on it is that it's very much like Apple to take the commonly accepted, "hey, they're going to add a shutter button" and enhance the functionality past what's expected.

Yeah, you can, but most medical responders know how to access emergency contact information setup in the Health app.

The Samsung Ring is basically a fitness, health and sleep monitoring device. It doesn't do notifications, answer questions, or act as a spy camera. Nor does it need to.

A couple of things that an Apple Ring could do is authentication and payments. For auth, think of an Apple Watch and how you can authenticate it by unlocking a paired iPhone. Once "unlocked", it could authenticate you to Macs, phones, tablets, and even, perhaps, your car or front door.

For payments, just hold the NFC chip to a reader and tap your fingers together.

Have an  Ultra and it's a bit bulky for a sleep tracker. Ring might be better.

So apparently the concept worked on iPhones as old as the 6s. Hmmmm........

Well, apparently it didn't work since it was never released...

Not exactly sure what the benefit of a thiner body is going to be when you're basically going to have to maintain a fat camera bump that's at least as larger as it is now.
