Apple’s development of SmartRing hints at a meticulously designed housing
Amidst Samsung’s recent announcement of Galaxy Ring at MWC 2024, reports have surfaced regarding Apple‘s venture into the product category. The Cupertino-based giant captured people’s attention to the virtual reality space with its spatial computing device, the Apple Vision Pro. Apple is now reportedly working on its SmartRing.
Initial hints emerged last year from patent filings related to finger-worn wearables. Although not much was known about the product at that point. However, thanks to recent revelations by yeux1122 via tipster Revegnus on X, now we have some information about Apple’s development of the SmartRing.
The Apple SmartRing is rumored to boast a meticulously designed housing
Apple reportedly wants the housing material to be thinner than the competitors. It will also help the embedded form of the sensors and the housing to look and feel more intricately designed. This product is currently in the prototype stage and reportedly includes various sensors that include sensors for motion, temperature, ambient light, health, compass, gyroscope, and inertial measurement devices.
This attention to detail underscores Apple’s aim to come up with a wearable ring that not only offers health tracking and other smart features but also looks and feels good with its elegant design.
Possible functionalities of Apple’s new wearable
Central to the Apple SmartRing’s functionality is its motion sensor, configured as an accelerometer, and proximity communication circuit equipped with a reader. These components enable a range of capabilities, from detecting user input through gestures like tapping and shaking to facilitating data synchronization with Apple devices. Moreover, the integration with Apple Watch opens avenues for seamless interaction between multiple wearables, enhancing the user experience across the Apple ecosystem.
The inclusion of a microphone in the ring enables user audio input alongside gesture-based commands. This multifaceted approach not only empowers users to interact with their devices in new ways but also sets the stage for the implementation of AI features and integration with the company’s visionOS platform.
Samsung’s offering in this product category also offers a range of health tracking and other features. The Samsung Galaxy Ring will reportedly support ECG functionality, blood flow measurement, device control via Samsung SmartThings, and wireless payments via Samsung Pay. Additionally, it brings the ‘My Vitality Score,’ an intelligent metric reflecting users’ physical and mental readiness based on sleep, activity, and heart-rate data.
Nonetheless, keeping Apple’s development of the spatial computing platform in mind, the foray into the realm of smart rings seems to hold the promise of yet another groundbreaking addition to its ecosystem and to the realm of wearable products as well.
