What if the Apple Ring was still in development?

Health has become one of the most important assets for Apple in recent years. We just have to see the great evolution that the Apple Watch has had around the integration of new monitoring sensors such as the oximetry sensor or for performing an electrocardiogram. Several rumors arose a few years ago about a smart ring focused on monitoring the health of users, the Apple Ring, and although everything seemed that the project had been abandoned, new rumors indicate that Cupertino is still developing this ring y could be launched in 2026.

An Apple Ring focused on people’s health, by 2026

Apple is trying to integrate sensors to monitor and improve people’s health into all of its devices. Health ranges from one’s own physical health to mental health and Apple knows that. The last major integration is the new hearing health features built into AirPods Pro 2, such as the possibility of using headphones as hearing aids or the possibility of performing audiometry.

Apple’s goal has always been improve and introduce health sensors into increasingly smaller devices. And Apple’s flagship health product is its smart watch, the Apple Watch. A few years ago it seems that a design project for a new product that could have been called Apple Ring, which is nothing more than a small device that would monitor some parameters of the users’ health without the need for a product as large as the Apple Watch.

A new rumor published by the leaker yeux1122 on his social networks ensures that Apple continues working on a ring-type wearable device and even on other wearable devices the size of smart bracelets and glasses, other than the Vision Pro. In addition, it could be ready for launch in 2026.

The objective of such a device will be Get the same monitoring in a smaller device. This Apple Ring could monitor sleep, blood pressure, blood glucose, etc. In the end, the challenge is to introduce all that technology into a smaller device like the Samsung Galaxy Ring.
