According to the language in the new patent, the company isn't ruling anything out. Really not anything. What could become Apple's next wearable after the Apple Watch and Vision Pro is described as an 'electronic system with ring device' that could be worn 'around a user's wrist, arm, leg, ankle, neck, head, and/or other body part.' Any other? There aren't many parts left, which makes it sound like Apple could be leaving the door open to enter a very different market (see the best Apple deals for its current offerings).
That said, the number of Apple patents for smart ring-like devices suggests the company is paying close attention to the area and searching for a new form factor to move on to.
