We may see some new cool Apple “smart garments” in the next few years.
“Apple has received a Granted Patent that relates to the Nike iPod product, though it may relate to a future iteration of the product line as it specifically relates to “smart garments.” Although the smart running shoe is the main focus of this particular patent, the patent does state that “authorized garments” include shirts and slacks. Elsewhere in the patent Apple mentions cross-country skiing and in-line skating. So the Nike iPod product line may expand in the future.”
