Apple Develops Screenless Fitness Tracker Prototype Focused on Health Monitoring
Apple is reportedly developing a screenless health and fitness tracker with a fabric band and sensor module, similar to devices like Whoop and Google's Fitbit Air. The project, backed by senior executives including Tim Cook and Eddy Cue, remains in early stages with prototypes created but no confirmed launch decision. The device would focus solely on health tracking without a display, contrasting with the multifunctional Apple Watch. A potential release is anticipated around 2028 if approved.
