Apple might enter the Smart Ring Wearable HealthTech market, competing with Samsung and market leader Oura. Indications include market growth, patent activity, and industry reports. Samsung's Galaxy Ring, a health and wellness wearable, will release in summer 2024. Speculation suggests Apple's Smart Ring could feature health tracking, gesture control, mobile payments, a small touchscreen, voice control, and authentication tools, possibly releasing in September 2024.
