Fitbit Air and Whoop are the direct comparisons in this category and it seems inevitable that Apple, with its strong health focus, enters the no-screen market in the next few years.
Ternus, the new Apple CEO has shown his creative impetus with the affordable MacBook Neo model which has been a runway hit for the brand. So the chances of more innovative products from the brand are quite high with him at the helm going forward.
Upgrades that make a difference
When you look at the new Apple Watch form factors, most people will be asking for more meaningful upgrades. After all, the current Watch models still last you for 48 hours, if you really stretch it.
The brand should focus on these aspects with the new models, and a screenless Watch option gives Apple more impetus to go deeper with the health model, and like Gemini offer Siri AI with the fitness quotient packaged into a subscription-free product.
In addition to this, smart ring is another product that Apple can look to prioritise and with giants like Oura and Ultrahuman showing the way, this segment could use mainstream names besides Samsung to give people more options.
The foldable arena is most likely getting Apple this year and Caviar has done the pre-launch hype more fuel, with its rumoured iPhone Ultra edition that will be available from next month.
