Apple has patented a fabric strap that can change color for smartwatches. Portal reports Apple insider.
The strap has an electrochromic coating that allows it to literally change color depending on the situation. Thus, the wearer will be able to “adjust” the belt according to their mood or the color scheme of their wardrobe.
In total, Apple offers several scenarios in which the strap changes color – at the request of the owner, when wearing a new watch face, as well as when receiving notifications or displaying some information or a widget.
“Color-adjustable watch band elements can be independently positioned and controlled so the system can display icons, shapes, and/or text while highlighting items in a specific way,” Apple says.
It is known that the US Patent and Trademark Office has granted Apple a patent for the electrochromic strap, but it is not known whether and when the new development will reach store shelves.
