Apple explores screenless health tracker, may be launched as early as 2028

According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple (AAPL.US) is developing a screenless health and fitness tracker similar to the wristband device from Whoop. This is part of its plan to revamp the smartwatch product line and introduce new types of wearable technology. The sources indicated that the company has been exploring this area for months and is now working on a prototype. The project has received support from top management, but Apple has yet to decide whether to launch the product. Currently, the project is still in its early stages and is internally called a “technology investigation.” If Apple decides to release it, the device is unlikely to hit the market before 2028.
