While Samsung already offers its Galaxy Ring smart ring, rumors have indicated that Apple is working on a similar product. However, in a newsletter published in early October, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman had cut short these rumors by indicating that Apple would not have any intention of entering the market of connected rings. But this week, another source indicates that the Apple connected ring would indeed in the pipes.

In an article, the TechRadar website relays a Korean blogger (“yeux1122”), who is regularly quoted by the media, and who indicates in one of his publications that Apple would still be developing a connected ring. This source also mentions the development of Apple connected glasses, which we already mentioned in a previous article.

What is the interest of the connected ring ?

For the moment, this information should be considered with caution, since it does not come from an official source. However, it should be noted that the connected ring format could be very interesting for Apple customers. Indeed, it allows for health and well-being tracking features on a more discreet product than connected watches. The connected ring can also be suitable for people who prefer to wear a classic watch, but who also want to benefit from health monitoring.

Samsung is already preparing a second generation

For its part, Samsung is already preparing to launch its second generation of connected rings. As a reminder, the Galaxy Ring was launched in July. And according to yeux1122, Samsung could launch the Galaxy Ring 2 earlier than expected. Compared to the first version, this new ring would be thinner, have better battery life, and offer new features. But here too, caution is advised, because this is an unofficial source.
