According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.appleSeveral models are currently under developmentsmart wearableThe new product is in response to the declining market performance of the company's smart wearable segment.
The report said,Apple is currently working on the new Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra 3The latter is expected to be released this year and comes with a number of significant updates: among them, satellite connectivity that doesn't rely on the iPhone. In addition, AirPods will also get "real-time translation" with iOS 26.
In addition to Apple Watch products, Gurman analyzed thatApple may launchSmart RingThe product is linked to other products.
Smart wearable manufacturers such as Samsung and Ultrahuman have now launched their smart ring products and are betting on the category's product power in the health space, Gurman said.
Its noted that the smart ring compared to the smartwatchIt is more suitable for wearing while sleeping (good for sleep monitoring), and thanks to the absence of a display, it can get a longer battery life performance and can reduce the notifications to the user's interference; in the field of fashion, the ring is also easier to match with the clothes.
According to Gurman, the smart ring and the smart watch are very different devices, so Apple is able to sell both and 'make two bucks'. Its analysis says that the smart ring will be able to reap the benefits of users who are reluctant to buy the Apple Watch for a variety of reasons. It also predicted thatIf Apple launches a smart ring, it will certainly link the device with the Apple Watch and even be able to assist the Vision Pro in its interactions.
Also in this issue of PowerOn, Gurman reveals thatApple is developing a wired connection version of the Vision Pro.The wired version of Vision Pro is said to be able to link with Mac devices to take advantage of the Mac's performance and reduce transmission delays between devices.
