– Apple has filed several patents over the years related to smart rings, suggesting it is exploring the concept.
– Rumors in 2023/2024 indicated an Apple Ring may launch to compete with rings from Samsung and Oura, but it has not materialized yet.
– Predicted price would be $399 or higher to compete but still be premium like Apple products.
– No firm release date but likely not before 2025 given lack of recent leaks and rumors.
– Features may include controlling other Apple devices, sleep tracking, fitness tracking, and integration with Apple Watch and other Apple ecosystem products.
– Key things consumers want to see are long battery life, high-quality sleep tracking without subscription, good design, and seamless integration across Apple devices.
