As long as Apple has not gotten into it, it seems that the connected ring sector will remain niche, and therefore still open to all kinds of experimentation.
Aina Ring alongside Apple
Latest example to date, the Aina Ring which will be released at the beginning of 2027 and which stands out from its few competitors by the introduction of a screen. Yes, a very small screen at the tip of your finger. Connection to a smartphone remains essential, but now, some information is visible without having to take out your iPhone (for the moment, the Aina Ring is only compatible with Apple devices).
Aina steps onto the Ring
Beyond this practical aspect, the ring is equipped with a predictive AI system, suggesting the next action to take based on the information it gathers from your other devices, to know your daily routines. It will, for example, alert you that you are late for an appointment, or know when you arrive home.
Control is carried out via a small multidirectional button or by voice to also take notes or dictate texts. The ring can also be used as a remote control. It even allows you to take phone calls.
Available at the beginning of 2027 starting at $399, indicative price.
