My precious: I’d buy an Apple Ring the second it came out
When Samsung introduced the Galaxy Ring (above) this summer, I was immediately tempted by the wearable. I didn't want to leave the Apple ecosystem I've been using for so many years, but I thought a smart ring could complement the Apple Watch I was already using.
The ring would continue to monitor my health parameters even when I recharged the Watch, filling in the gaps in monitoring. The ring would get more advanced with time, so I might even consider leaving the smartwatch behind.
I also thought that Apple would make an Apple Ring of its own, either in response to Samsung or independently of Samsung's plans. Samsung wasn't the first to launch a smart ring, with Oura being one of the best-known makers of such devices.
Similarly, I thought Apple was exploring its own ring in secret, which is the case for every product Apple makes. We wouldn't hear about it until the product is ready for mass consumption. Not to mention that health is an incredible focus for Apple right now. Products like the Apple Watch, the AirPods Pro, and the iPhone all work together to help you manage various aspects of your health. An Apple Ring would just fit.
Fast-forward to mid-October, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has bad news for me. Apparently, Apple doesn't plan to go forward with plans to develop a smart ring.
