Patent shows how Apple Watch could use heart-rate sensors to identify owner

<p>Unlikely as it sounds, a future <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-watch/" target="_blank">Apple Watch[/url] may be able to identify its owner using nothing more than the heart-rate sensors. In principle, this could allow it to eliminate the need for a PIN (or verification via iPhone unlock) when you put it on in the morning.</p>
