Apple won't launch a smart ring, says Oura CEO: 'It's hard to do'
Samsung's smart ring debut put the products firmly in the spotlight, with one analyst predicting that Apple could launch its own smart ring in 2026.
probably because smart rings are stupid
Each to their own. I have an Oura ring and primarily for me the benefit is sleep tracking because I can’t for the life of me wear an Apple Watch to bed, it’s just too uncomfortable and I have tried many times.
The sleep tracking managed to help me make adjustments as it showed how often I was awake, how much deep sleep etc.

Yes, Oura ring is the best natural birth control available today.
Newer Apple Watches added that feature 2 years ago: https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/7/23341259/apple-watch-series-8-ovulation-period-tracking-temperature-sensor https://support.apple.com/en-ca/102674
I’ll take a ring over the smart watch any day. Battery life alone, makes this easier. Drives me nuts to see my coworkers, friends, dates, just looking at their watch as we chat away or work, then complain about so many alerts.
So no, smart rings are not stupid
You can turn the alerts off…
The best use I could see for it is pausing Netflix as soon as I fall asleep.
I dont know i have been waiting for some nerd to build a wand vr controller or magic controller rings because just the premise alone tickets my fantasies.
Impractical maybe, i just want someone to try and publish results.
CEO talks shit about Apple in an attempt to get bought out.
Apple will just wait til oura makes it mainstream then Apple will reinvent it and sell out
Apple are brave that way. I mean, they introduced oled maybe 15 years later in a revolutionary media launch. Amazing.
