When you think of Apple and wearables you probably think about the Apple Watch Ultra 2 or the less rugged Apple Watch Series 9. But amid ongoing disputes over their blood oxygen monitoring capabilities and the technology they use, Apple now seems set to turn its attention to a whole new type of wearable. One that it hasn't dipped its toe into so far, but is far from a new idea for people who have been wearing products from Oura and others for years.
According to a new report, Apple is pondering a new so-called Apple Ring, a wearable ring that would fit around someone's ringer and collect health data throughout the day. Products like the many Oura Rings already do just that, keeping taps on heart rates and yes, blood oxygen levels, but Apple isn't the only company ready to try and eat its lunch. Samsung, a long-time foe of Apple's in the smartphone world, recently announced its own Galaxy Ring product and it's believed that Apple is ready to do battle with the company once more.
