Compiled from 2 independent publishers TechCrunch · The Verge
The Verge attributes specific claims—a screenless Whoop-like design and a prototype—to Bloomberg; TechCrunch reports only that Apple may be developing a fitness tracker as part of new hardware devices.
Bottom line
Two reports support treating an Apple fitness-tracker effort as plausible, while all commercially decisive details remain confined to an attributed report rather than Apple confirmation.
