    The only thing that would make me consider buying a ring is whether it allows my devices to track me in my own house and automatically turn lights on and off as I move through the house. Right now I'm doing that with motion sensors, but it's messy, complex and inaccurate. If Apple can improve on this with a ring, preferably including people who visit my house with their own ring, then I would consider buying it.

    I typically walk around the house with my phone.  Do you?  If so, why not have the phone do that?
    No, my phone is usually on my charger when I'm at home. Where do you charge your phone? And how do you manage to get your phone to do that? I.e, "to automatically turn lights on and off as you move through your house."
    You could charge at night or whenever you sleep.  I did not say I use iPhone to control lights by moving in house.  That was more of an idea.  If a tiny ring with limited abilities can do that, surely they can get an iPhone to do that.  I saw they added thread networking to the 15 pro’s,  that will likely trickle down to new regular phones.

    Apple was planning a ring for two decades??  So,  before the iPhone and computer watch?  That is really amazing,  wonder what they thought the use case for it would be, back in 2003

    If only it could change color to indicate my mood…
    We had mood rings back in the 1970’s or 1980’s

    A thinner phone would probably mean a thinner battery so battery chemistry improvements will be needed.

    Silicon Carbon is an option. The second and third generations are already on some phones today. Next year will see them cheaper and higher densities. 
    I think a major leap in battery tech and storage would drive a so called super cycle. Imagine a phone that can handle heavy use and last for a couple days or more before charging. The constant news about camera improvements is not important to most of the general public.  The cameras are already great as it is, considering the tiny sensor and lens.
