While Samsung already offers its Galaxy Ring connected ring, rumors have indicated that Apple is working on a similar product. However, in a newsletter published at the beginning of October, journalist Mark Gurman (Bloomberg) cut short these rumors by indicating that Apple would not intend to enter the connected ring market. But this week, another source indicates that the Apple connected ring would indeed be in the pipeline.
In an article, the TechRadar site relays a Korean blogger (“yeux1122”), who is regularly quoted by the media, and who indicates in one of his publications that Apple is still developing a connected ring. This source also mentions the development of Apple connected glasses, which we already mentioned in a previous article.
What is the point of the connected ring?
For the moment, this information should be considered with caution, since it does not come from an official source. However, it should be noted that the connected ring format could be very interesting for Apple customers. Indeed, this allows you to have health and well-being monitoring functionalities on a product that is more discreet than connected watches. The connected ring may also be suitable for people who prefer to wear a classic watch, but who also want to benefit from health monitoring.
Samsung is already preparing a second generation
For its part, Samsung is already preparing to launch its second generation of connected rings. As a reminder, the Galaxy Ring was launched in July. And according toeyes1122, Samsung could launch the Galaxy Ring 2 sooner than expected. Compared to the first version, this new ring would be thinner, have better autonomy, and would offer new features. But here too, caution remains in order, because this is an unofficial source.
