Smart rings seem to be becoming more popular as patents of the Apple Ring are making the rounds. Already attendees at MWC 2024 are getting their hands on the coming Samsung Ring which will launch in the coming months. Apple seems to want a piece of the pie from this bubbling wearable industry, as they have their eyes set on it with their coming product.
The reports supporting this coming Apple device don’t state that it’ll launch anytime soon. However, it points out that the Cupertino-based company is working on patents for a wearable device for its users’ fingers. Now this is a bit out of the way for Apple as the wearable devices that they have at the moment are for the wrist, seeing them working on a ring seems promising.
Over the past few years, the smart ring industry has been dominated by smaller tech firms like Oura and other competing brands. Now we are seeing the big tech players stepping into the playing field with new products and patents that might soon get into their development stage. This will step up the competition and give potential buyers more options to pick from when shopping for a new smart ring.
In comparison with smartwatches, smart rings are easier to wear, less conspicuous and pack a ton of health-tracking features. Just like smartwatches, these smart rings like the coming Samsung Ring will offer NFC support for online payment. The coming Apple Watch that we are learning about will also pack these health-tracking and NFC features.
Possibly in the coming months, we might get to learn more about the coming Apple Ring product. For now, the details on this product are just from the patent which points out that Apple is working on a wearable device for the finger. For now, netizens will have their eyes focused on the Samsung Ring on display at MWC 2024.
