Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is reportedly working on a new screen-free fitness tracker and an AI-heavy pendant to broaden its wearable lineup beyond the Apple Watch.
Apple Tests Screen-Free Fitness Tracker
The screen-free health and fitness tracker will resemble Whoop’s bands, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
The tech giant has reportedly developed prototypes, but nothing is certain yet. The device could have a fabric band with sensors that monitor heart rate and other health metrics.
According to Gurman, former Apple CEO and now chairman Tim Cook and services chief Eddy Cue are "throwing their weight behind the product."
While the future of this device remains uncertain, Gurman said that if Apple proceeds with this tracker, it is unlikely to arrive before 2028.
Apple’s AI Pendant Could Bring Camera-Powered Siri
In a separate post on X, Gurman noted that Apple has also been working on an AI pendant. This device will have a camera and could hang around the neck or attach to clothing.
The columnist reported that development has been postponed, but if it works, it could give Siri more "visual data" to process.
Apple did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comment.
Apple Expands Health Tracking Beyond the Watch
The latest Apple Watch model has features that overlap with competitors. This includes readiness scores and biological-age estimates. The company is currently testing a redesigned Health app in iOS 27.2.
In its latest earnings report in July, Apple noted $7.88 billion in revenue from its Wearables, Home and Accessories segment. This figure is up from $7.40 billion a year earlier.
Price Action: On Tuesday, Apple closed at $339.75, up 0.23%. The stock was trading at $339.84 in after-hours trading, up 0.026%, according to Benzinga Pro.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Apple ranks in the 97th percentile for Quality, while its stock shows positive short-, medium- and long-term price trends.
