Apple Develops Screenless Fitness Tracker Prototype Targeting Health Monitoring
Apple is reportedly developing a screenless health and fitness tracker with a fabric band and sensor module, aiming to compete with devices like Whoop and Fitbit. The prototypes focus on health tracking without a display and may launch by 2028 if approved. Senior executives, including Tim Cook and Eddy Cue, support the project. This device would complement the Apple Watch by offering a simpler, fitness-oriented wearable. Apple is also updating its Health app to provide enhanced health insights and personalized guidance.
