Apple Developing Screenless Fitness Tracker to Rival Whoop, Bloomberg Reports

Summary · why it matters

Apple is developing a screenless fitness tracker that could compete with devices from Whoop, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The device remains in an early development stage and Apple has not decided whether to release it; if launched, it would not be expected before 2028. Prototypes include a thin fabric band with a sensor-equipped module but no display, distinguishing the device from Apple's Apple Watch. Bloomberg reported that Apple executive chairman Tim Cook and services chief Eddy Cue have taken an interest in the project. Apple is a leading smartwatch maker, but companies such as Whoop and Garmin have built products aimed at athletes and people seeking more specialized fitness tracking, and Garmin shares pared earlier gains to trade roughly flat following the report.
