Apple tests screenless fitness tracker
Apple was developing prototypes of a screenless health and fitness tracker comparable to Whoop bands, according to reports citing Bloomberg. One prototype used a thin fabric band and a sensor-equipped computing module. The project remained at an early stage, and Apple had not decided whether to release the device.
Why it matters
A new wearable format could extend Apple's health business beyond the Apple Watch and intensify competition with Whoop.
