By removing the display and many of those distractions, Apple could position the new wearable as a more focused fitness and health companion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Both Tim Cook and Eddy Cue have shown interest in the category, with Cue reportedly favouring wearables built around <b>simpler interfaces<\/b>. A screen-less tracker could fit neatly into that vision by doing fewer things, but doing them continuously and quietly in the background.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">That is essentially the pitch behind Whoop\u2019s products. The screen-less design lets users focus on fitness and recovery instead of checking notifications or constantly interacting with another screen. Whoop has also built much of its appeal around analysing metrics such as recovery, strain, and sleep, turning raw health data into actionable insights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">However, don\u2019t expect to see it on your wrist anytime soon. Word on the street is that Apple is reportedly targeting <b>2028 at the earliest<\/b> <b>for a launch<\/b>, assuming the project makes it through development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: Bloomberg via MacRumors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/apple-rumoured-whoop-like-fitness-tracker-launch-2028\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple could be exploring a very different kind of fitness tracker: one with no screen.
