Apple has considered developing several new wearable devices, including a smart ring for health and fitness, smart glasses, and upgraded AirPods with built-in cameras and more sensors.
The smart ring concept was presented by Apple's industrial design team but is not actively being developed at this time.
The smart glasses idea is less ambitious than previously rumored AR glasses and could serve as an "AirPods replacement" with built-in speakers, cameras, health sensors, and AI capabilities.
Engineers at Apple have explored fitting low-resolution camera sensors into AirPods, which could potentially offer AI features to assist users in their daily routines.
