Apple Ring: Launching by 2027?
With Samsung launching its Galaxy Ring, speculation has turned to Apple. This prediction asks if Apple will release its own Smart Ring before the end of 2027.
Cannibalization Concerns
The majority 'No' vote reflects strategic skepticism. Unlike a watch, a ring lacks a screen for apps and notifications, limiting Apple's ability to sell services. Furthermore, an Apple Ring would directly cannibalize Apple Watch sales, which is a mature and highly profitable product line. Reports from late 2025 suggest Apple has shelved the concept to focus on AR glasses, viewing the ring market as too niche.
