5 MWC announcements that should have come from Apple

The Android show highlighted some new tech that we want to see in Apple products.

Mobile World Congress was held this past February in Barcelona, and we understand if it passed you by. While Apple and the iPhone are on everyone's mind, MWC is primarily an Android show. But there are still some announcements that will get Apple fans a little jealous. Here are five that caught our eye-and we hope Apple is paying attention.

1. GALAXY RING

As if Samsung was reading the rumor blogs, right after reports emerged that Apple had explored the development of a smart ring (fave.co/4a5v5KE), new details emerged of the upcoming Galaxy Ring (fave.co/ 4a7xXGC), which reportedly won't work with iPhones. We don't know much about it other than it will track most health metrics that a smartwatch does-sleep, heart rate, fertility, and so 1. on-and will last about a week between charges. Just as importantly, it's the first smart ring from a major smartphone company and looks great in pictures, so consider our interest significantly piqued by the prospect of an Apple Ring (fave.co/4a508EF).
