Maybe I’m in the way minority, but a foldable iPhone is a stupid idea. My sister has the Samsung and it’s such an ugly form-factor plus the crease is terrible. The screen is so scratched. What she likes best, is the small lcd on the outside.

I do sorta wonder if Apple could do something with the back. But that said, I've found that while I was enthusiastic about the action button, I haven't actually found a use for it. Same with the always on display and lock screen widgets. Thought these would be useful, but for me, they aren't. That said, I'd still really like a hardware snap open/close lens cover. This thing spends a lotta time in my pocket, and even with a clear case, it gets scratched up. And the same for a little snap cover for the USB-C port.

Wow that entire article could have been condensed to a shrugging emoji.

Pretty sure AI can do that for you. 

I'm pretty sure AI wrote this whole article. Seriously. Note that there's no byline for a human author. And note the stupidity of a clickbait headline that WILDLY overpromises what the article will tell you and never pays off at all. Not one specific thing about how Apple's ring is going to blow the other manufacturers out of the water, just a regurgitation of known rumors and speculation and broad generalizations--not all of them true, either--about how Apple brings a product to market. You can practically smell the AI stench coming through your screen. 

I see a byline.

You are correct. It was not there when I originally posted and I have since amended my post. It doesn't change my opinion that this was written by AI. 

I'm guessing that maybe somewhere on AI's (Apple Insider's) website they have posted a AI use policy. Or not. I do sort of wonder when the journalistic trade is going to start addressing the issue. We've had privacy policies for some time now - maybe the ethical next step is for "news" sites to publish how they use AI, or not use AI.

Yep. I have my suspicions.

It won't be a problem because I don't see Apple bringing this to market. What would a ring do that Apple Watch can't or doesn't already do? 

Sleep tracking. Watch is too much of a presence to wear at night more than once in a while…Toe ring???😏

Launch a specific product for more convenient sleep tracking? I get that some people wish to have this data, but is there a market for just this? If Apple is going to make a ring, it has to do a lot more than be a sensor, and I have a hard time imagining what it could be. Comparatively, this was easy to do with AVP - application possibilities were quite easy to imagine. Not so with a ring. Some sort of haptic feedback off a phone? A microphone to turn it into that wearable thing with no screen (forget the goofy name)? This appears to be tech looking for a problem to solve.
