Apple has been around for several years with a focus on the practical application that the technology can have on the health of users. The year 2015 was crucial in this sense, because it was the year when the Apple Watch arrived on the market, the smartphone with which those from Cupertino gave an interesting turn to the smartwatch market, which until then was limited to expansion. functions of the smartphone to which they were connected. Since then, each generation of Apple smartwatches has added new health and sports-related features.

TO a set consisting of iPhone, Apple Watch and software associated with them, Apple Fitness+ was later added, a complete training program service that is also integrated with the watch’s quantification functions, providing a comprehensive solution to getting and staying in shape, knowing that what we do is adapted to our specific i need A really interesting option for many.

However, now it appears that it is the next big trend in quantification could be smart rings. At the moment, we saw the most relevant movement in this regard at January’s Galaxy Unpacked, an event that ended with Samsung announcing that they were indeed preparing a smart ring, but without revealing any details. Other manufacturers (though not the first swords in the industry) are already marketing devices of this type, and one of them (the Oura brand) gained some popularity in early 2024 when photographs revealed the King Emeritus using the same swords. .

So it seemed only a matter of time before Cupertino decided to take a step forward in this regard, especially since the confirmation of Samsung’s entry into this market. And as we read in ETNews, it was not a mistake to think so, and this media confirms that Apple is already working on a smart ring focused on quantification. This is also reinforced by the fact that in recent years Apple has registered several patents that point to this type of device.

Although they are still emerging, some consulting firms are warning the rapid growth rate of the smart ring market, and some devices of this type, such as those from Oura, have already shown that they can be quite useful (whimsy aside, why are we kidding). Now, of course, we will have to see if Apple decides to give a quick answer or, on the contrary, prefers to take more time and in exchange come up with a proposal that is groundbreaking with what has existed so far. .
