Apple Smart Ring leaks – everything we know so far!
The Apple Ring concept was first rumored back in 2007. Back then, Apple's 2013 supplier tour also hinted that an Apple-made smart ring is in the works. Now more than 17 years have passed and people are curious to know if Apple has any real plans to launch a ring. Well, the short answer is yes, at least according to some reliable sources.

Earlier this year, Mark Gurman reported that Apple is exploring the idea of creating new wearables, including a fitness ring, smart glasses and AirPods with cameras. According to the report, the Cupertino tech giant planned to come up with "a smart ring that would take health tracking features from the Apple Watch and put them on your finger". However, Gurman also mentioned that an Apple Ring is just an idea so far, and the company hasn't started working on the actual product yet.
Another rumor points to a different side of the story. A month after Samsung teased its smart ring at the January 2024 event, South Korea's ETNews reported that Apple may be working to launch a rival. It stated that Apple has been closely following the potential of the smart rings, and that it will probably ramp up its development for a release within the next year or so.
