We have been talking about a possible Apple smart ring for many years, due not only to the patents registered by the company itself, but because competitors such as Samsung would have released theirs. However, this, instead of rushing the company to release its own, has had the opposite effect, but why?
We already talked about it a long time ago, and the departure of other competitors was an indication for Apple of whether it could be a good business, or not, and everything indicates that it has not caught the user’s attention as expected. That, together with the fact that the Apple Watch is much more complete, has made the company stop the project.
The Apple Ring will not come out
It was Mark Gurman himself, one of the most important journalists and leakers of everything related to Apple, who left us a devastating phrase for those of us who were really waiting for this product:
Apple is not actively developing a smart ring and has no plans to release one.
This means that, although it is an idea that was on the company’s mind, and that surely depended on the success or failure of its rivals like Samsung, it is currently no longer on the company’s mind, and, therefore, if there was any progress on This product seems to be useless, at least for now, we don’t know in the long term.
Everything pointed to the Apple Ring being the ideal complement to the Apple Watchmeasuring our vital signs and sleep, without having to put the watch on, since it is much more uncomfortable to sleep or play sports. In addition, it was expected that it would interact with the Vision Pro, being a sensor of the movement of our hands, something that may end up arriving, but since the glasses are still in an initial phase, it seems that they are in no hurry.
However, we will not see it, or at least not soon, and users who were looking forward to this product will have to continue waiting, or look for alternatives, although they are not even close to what Apple and its ecosystem could offer us.
Samsung would have launched its own, as we mentioned. However, It has not been widely acceptedand that could lead the company not to release a second version, something that could have motivated Apple to not even try with the first.
Be that as it may, there will be no Apple Ring, so the only one happy is the wallet, since it was estimated a quite high cost of the same, another reason that could have put Tim Cook and company back, since if the product was not widely accepted, and on top of that it cost a lot to produce and sell, it could only be a failure for the brand, something that they do not like. not at all.
And you, what do you think of all this? Do you think it was going to come out? The truth is that I had high expectations, especially after the release of Samsung. Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you would have bought it in case they finally launched it.
