    Update us when Samsung is willing to start getting skin in the fitness game. Like a commitment to a fitness program equal to their commitment to BIXBY?

      Apple should name it the Apple Watch pro max and stick with their own naming scheme. They stole the word ultra from Samsung and no one batted an eye.

      ​@iMoha46 Samsung made the first ultra watch. Apple copied the idea. Also, this watch is an evolution of gear sport watch not the apple watch ultra. Go seethe.

    I wish Apple offered a ring or another alternative for people who prefer wearing mechanical watches or, like me, dislike wearing watches but still want to track their sleep and other health metrics. However, knowing Apple, I highly doubt they will consider this since their watches are still seen as the best in the market and is generating substantial profit.
    Apple is all for profit 🥲

    Maybe they won’t do it, but I think it could fit into a strategy. Because it has fewer sensors and would be cheaper to make, they could offer it as a lower-cost alternative to the Apple watch. Sure, the ring wouldn’t have all the features of the watch, but if it had enough features, they could still get Fitness+ subscribers from it.

    I bet this channel $10,000 that Apple does come out with a ring.

    1. They already have patents for it.
    2. Yes the Apple Watch can already do health tracking, but the best health tracking is with two devices rather than from a single source. Also a ring is way less invasive when sleeping and battery can hold much longer.
    3. Apple needs to increase subscriptions, as you said. An Apple ring would simply make a great way to push Apple Fitness + subscriptions, any way to add to the ecosystem is the Apple way.

    I’m sorry miss lady The apple ring can open your phone and the upper ring can combine your phone to call home 911 or 999. Done again am I technician so a lot of people may not know how to do it. READ YOUR MANUALS. Just don’t chuck them to the sides like how I see most of you people do READ YOUR MANUALS.

    Apple will be absolutely selling a ring IF the Samsung ring is successful…. I doubt it will be, but Apple will be in like Flynn if it is.
