Apple is reportedly developing a smart ring, a move that could challenge existing products like the Oura Ring and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Ring. This information comes from prototype collector "Kosutami" and aligns with Apple's prior patent filings and long-standing interest in finger-worn biometric wearables. Earlier reports from 2024 indicated Apple's consideration of such a device to expand its wearables, catering to users seeking a less conspicuous biometric accessory than the Apple Watch. While rumors had subsided, the increasing popularity of the Oura Ring appears to have renewed Apple's interest. The Finnish-developed Oura Ring, first launched in 2015, tracks activity, heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep data, transmitting it via Bluetooth to an app. The current fifth-generation Oura Ring, starting at $399, is significantly smaller and offers advanced health monitoring features. These include blood pressure trend detection, sophisticated nighttime breathing analysis, and tools for GLP-1 medication tracking. Kosutami provided no additional details about Apple's potential smart ring beyond its existence. This development signals Apple's potential entry into the rapidly growing smart ring market.
