If Apple were to create this hypothetical smart ring, it would already have access to Apple’s Health app, which is very comprehensive and continues to get better over time. There wouldn’t be a need for a separate app that would need to sync back to Apple Health, which is the case for many third-party options. In some cases, there isn’t even Apple Health integration, so that data is siloed within whatever app came with your smart ring.
With an Apple Ring, you wouldn’t have to worry about any of this. It would sync seamlessly with your Apple Health app, it would count toward your activity rings and challenges in the Fitness app, and it could almost certainly integrate with Apple Fitness Plus. Combine that with similar exercise-tracking capabilities of the Apple Watch, and it’s not hard to see why this would be so impressive. There’s a reason so many people trust Apple’s health and fitness tools. If Apple can shrink all of that down into a ring, it would surely have a winner on its hands… More here.
Why do I get the sense that battery life will be an issue if Apple releases a smart ring?
