Apple recently filed a new patent in which future smartwatches could automatically change their watch faces based on connected bands.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, Apple plans to add a new feature in its future watches, according to which the appearance of the watches will be customized based on the straps. According to Apple’s new patent certificate, the company’s future smart watches will have an NFC chip in which connected bands will be able to automatically change the appearance of the display.
According to a report published by The Verge, this patent does not necessarily mean that such a product will be available in the future, but it can show the future vision of the Cupertino native.
For example, in this patent, if sports bands are connected in future smart watches, sports programs will be activated automatically. In this NFC patent, Apple Watch can communicate with additional bands and sensors and even displays. Apple may never make this watch, but it is likely that it is focused on providing such capabilities. Customizing the appearance of the Apple Watch based on the attached straps can be very attractive for users.
In this patent, Apple has also added a feature to detect the authenticity of the straps attached to the Apple Watch. In this way, if cheap and unofficial bands are connected to Apple watches, the system will automatically notify the user as a warning. Previously, such a feature was also used to detect the authenticity of iPhone batteries.
