There will never be an Apple Ring, says rival with crossed fingers

The CEO of smart ring firm Oura has detailed the reasons there shouldn't be an Apple Ring, but sounds like he's hoping Apple is listening.


Render of a possible Apple Ring

Oh, just bring out a ring already. Apple Ring has been rumored for years, but in the last few months we have had absolutely certain claim that the project is dead. But that claim was followed only hours later by another one saying that Apple's smart ring would be out in 2026.

Now Tom Hale, CEO of the Oura Ring company, has told CNBC that it won't happen. For one thing, an Apple Ring would undercut the Apple Watch, and for another, making smart rings is so hard that Apple can't just walk in and do it.

iPad is still Apple's second biggest device despite long term decline

A new report claims that despite overall sales declining, Apple's iPad continues to sell steadily, and is second only to the iPhone.


iPad Air 2024

While the iPad dominates the US market, overall it's sales have been declining, and the latest models reportedly failed to reverse that trend. Nonetheness, the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) says in a new report, that iPad sales are chiefly stable.

Apple does not release detailed sales data, so information such as CIRP's has to come from surveys. CIRP also does not give actual sales figures though, so its use solely of percentages is only illustrative of the differences between the iPad models.

M4 Mac mini review: The first redesign in years hides incredible computing power

Apple's long-overdue overhaul of the Mac mini shrinks an already great package even more, yet it still punches far above its weight class.


M4 Mac mini

I've owned a Mac mini since the very first G4 model. In an era of bulky towers and a G4 Cube just years before that impressed but didn't deliver, the little box brought Apple power to a small desktop package, and I was enthused.

And since then, I've had one in service 24/7 constantly. Even now with a Mac Studio on my desk, there's one upstairs in use with a family member, one in the other room silently humming away acting as my network attached storage and test platform, and a few more on my shelf that I've hoarded over the years, just waiting for an application.
