Apple is working on the future every day and therefore regularly applies for new patents. These three new ones could change the way you cook, exercise and travel forever.
Every year, Apple releases new features for your iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch. Although they often seem like small improvements, sometimes they are groundbreaking features that make your life easier. It often all starts with a patent application.
3 Apple inventions in the pipeline
Patent applications are often filed very early. Only years later do we see the result. As a result, we already have a picture of the future. Apple now has these three patents in the pipeline.
#1 AirTag on your body or clothing
The AirTag is a useful gadget to keep an eye on items that you can lose. Think for example of a suitcase, bag or your keys. Apple is now working on an AirTag that you put on your body or clothing, PatentlyApple reports.
You may be thinking: how strange! You don’t get rid of your own body very easily. However, this AirTag has another function. This must collect health information. So you can somewhat compare it to an Apple Watch.
This gadget should collect all kinds of information such as sun exposure, training information and fall detection. So it is an ideal option for people who do not want to wear a smartwatch.

#2 Siri as a kitchen helper
Siri is Apple’s voice assistant that you can give all kinds of commands. Think, for example, of playing music or setting the alarm. However, Siri should also become the Jamie Oliver who assists you in the kitchen in the future.
And no, that won’t happen on your iPhone in the kitchen. Apple seems to be working on making Siri available on kitchen appliances as well. So in the future you can simply talk to your fridge or oven.
And that of course seems like an ideal development if Apple continues this. Kitchen appliances are getting smarter. For example, the refrigerator of the future should tell you when products are reaching the end of their best-before date and you can already operate the latest coffee machines remotely.
#3 Apple is changing the way you travel
In the future we will travel in a self-driving car. Whether this is the Apple Car or a Tesla with a really well-functioning Autopilot, remains to be seen. Apple does have an idea of what the inside of that car should look like and that is very special.

Apple has applied for a patent for a smart table. A what? Yes exactly, it’s a table that actually consists of a screen and a projector. Moreover, this table has several sensors so that it can precisely follow your movements. This table is in a car.
Incidentally, the table must also be able to be used as a home office. Having this table in the car will change the way you travel. You work in a completely new way on the go.
