Cool. It's nice to know you're listening. I'm not sure how practical this is but perhaps different RFID frequencies will produce a better range but I know next-to-nothing about it. I guess I'll check back in a couple of months and see what the situation is.

I think the Alpha version is somewhat unattractive compared to the regular version. As someone who only wants to unlock their phone and for whom security is much less of a concern, I'd like a version with a single chip and a stronger signal. My understanding is that the use of metal in the ring is also attenuating the signal to some extent. I'd be interested in a ring produced using different materials.

I don't want to have to use a sweet spot. I want to be able to pick up my phone in any way I like and have the phone unlock.

I only want the ring to unlock my phone but I'm going to be doing it with a bulky extended battery case and therefore need a much stronger signal. My understanding is that the ring features two tags as a security feature, preventing the tags from being read from afar due to cross-talk. I'm wondering if I can deliberately make both tags the same and thereby increase the signal strength because I don't require this security feature.
