Apple is actively working on creating a “smart” ring that will act as an analogue of a fitness tracker and collect information about the user’s health. As Day.Az reports, this was reported by MacRumors.
According to MacRumors, Apple has been working on the concept of such a ring for several years, as evidenced by several patents. It is assumed that the creation of the device was accelerated by the announcement of a similar Galaxy Ring gadget from Samsung. It is unlikely that Apple will be able to release a smart ring faster than its competitor, but the American company will almost certainly try to make the device more advanced.
“Apple is closely monitoring the market to see if Samsung’s smart ring can become a more convenient and energy-efficient alternative to watches. The company is seriously considering the creation of a smart ring as a viable scenario for expanding its line of wearable devices. This is indicated by the registration of thematic patents, which have recently is getting bigger,” writes MacRumors.
The Galaxy Ring will go into mass production in the second half of 2024. In addition to being able to measure heart rate, the Galaxy Ring is also expected to support ECG monitoring and sleep tracking. The device should also receive functions for controlling other devices and the possibility of contactless NFC payments.
