Apple is reportedly advancing in the development of a smart ring to compete with Samsung’s upcoming Smart Ring. This wearable device, intended to be worn on the finger, is designed to monitor users’ health data. Notably, several domestic brands such as boAt and Noise have already entered this market. Here are further insights into the rumored Apple smart ring.
Apple Ring Rumours
ETNews reports that Apple is ramping up its efforts in developing the Apple Ring by filing patents related to smart rings. In November of the previous year, a patent was submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) outlining the electronic system used in the smart ring.
This technology incorporates a short-range wireless communication circuit designed to connect with other devices, with potential applications for controlling smartphones and tablets. Notably, Apple has been consistently filing patents related to smart rings for several years, indicating a strong possibility of advanced development for commercial release in the near future.
The Smart Ring emerges as a novel wearable device equipped with internal sensors, an NFC controller, and the capability to monitor heart rate, among various other functions. Notably, it facilitates contactless payments, adding to its versatility. With a growing interest in health-centric gadgets, the Smart Ring distinguishes itself by offering enhanced comfort for extended wear compared to traditional smartwatches, all while gathering comprehensive biometric data.
Samsung Galaxy Ring
Samsung has teased the launch of its smart ring, but the official release date remains undisclosed. Recent reports suggest that the Galaxy Ring is scheduled to make its debut at the ‘Unpacked’ event in the latter half of July. This event will also feature the unveiling of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
As per a recent report, the forthcoming smart ring is rumored to feature ECG functionality along with ‘blood flow measurement’ capabilities. Speculations suggest that the ring will support wireless payments and device control, and it will be offered in eight different sizes. However, it’s important to note that these details are based on speculations and rumors, and the exact specifications will be unveiled once the company officially provides information.
