Samsung Galaxy Ring Overview
The Samsung Galaxy Ring, available in black, silver, and gold, focuses primarily on health tracking. It includes features such as sleep monitoring, heart rate tracking, and AI-driven insights. The ring also offers additional functionalities similar to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and 9, such as tap gestures for taking pictures or snoozing alarms. It has a "find me" feature and comes with a charging case that displays the charging status. Samsung claims up to 7 days of battery life, but this varies depending on the ring size. The ring is waterproof, allowing for continuous health monitoring. However, at $400, some expected more features.
Benefits of an Apple Ring
An Apple Ring could offer benefits over wearing an Apple Watch, such as the ability to wear traditional watches while still tracking health data. The ring's battery could last up to 7 days with a charging case that holds multiple charges, potentially providing up to two months of battery life before needing to recharge the case. This longer battery life could be a significant advantage over the Apple Watch, which typically requires charging every night or every other night, disrupting sleep tracking. The Apple Ring could also integrate with Apple's intelligence to provide better sleep insights.

Exclusive Features of the Apple Ring
The Apple Ring could include features such as pinch and tap gestures, similar to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Series 9. It might also feature a sensor on top of the ring for adjusting volume or snoozing alarms. Additionally, the ring could incorporate NFC for payments, allowing users to pre-select a card on their iPhone and activate payments with a swipe gesture. The Apple Ring could provide haptic feedback for payment confirmations and notifications, a feature missing in the Samsung Galaxy Ring. The ring could also enhance the Vision Pro experience by improving hand tracking accuracy in dark environments.
Release Date and Price Speculation
The release of the Apple Ring will likely depend on the success of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. If the Galaxy Ring sells well, Apple may release its own ring in late 2025 or 2026. Apple could easily manufacture a ring by miniaturizing the technology from its Apple Watch and creating a charging case. The price of the Apple Ring will likely be similar to the Samsung Galaxy Ring, around $399, with no subscription fees, mirroring Apple's approach with its watches.
