Mobile World Congress was hold this week 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 promulgation that will get Apple fans a little jealous . Here are five of them that capture our middle — and we hope Apple is pay attention too .
Galaxy Ring
As if Samsung was reading the rumor blogs , right after report emerge that Apple hadexplored the development of a smart closed chain , new details emerged of the upcomingGalaxy Ring , which reportedly wo n’t work out with iPhones . We do n’t know much about it other than it ’ll track most health metrics that a smartwatch does — sleep , heart rate , fertility , etc.—and last about a week between charges . Just as importantly , it ’s the first smart ringing from a major smartphone troupe and bet great in pictures , so consider our interest piqued by the chance of anApple Ring .

Gemini in Google Messages
We ’re still wait for Apple to unveil its first true generative AI feature — which should be coming atWWDC — but Google has been moving at a fast pace with its own Gemini chatbot . Despite some early issues with range of a function creation , Gemini continues to add new tool to its armoury . Thelatest announce at MWC : you could chat with Gemini right in the Google Messages app . We do n’t know what Apple has design for Gen AI in iOS 18 , but something similar in iMessage would be fun .
OnePlus Watch 2
Apple Watch is the tycoon of smartwatches , but there ’s still one orbit where we ’d like to see a handsome boost : battery life . So we ’re a little jealous of theOnePlus Watch 2 , which claims 100 time of day of electric battery living with light use and about half that with sullen utilization . Testers have been able to go two to three days with normal use . Meanwhile , the Apple Watch Series 9 is still gravel at around a day and a half .

Among the oodles of new technical school bring in with Vision Pro is next - level eye - trailing tech for navigating without flailing your hand all over the position . award also has new eye - trailing tech , but it ’s not in a headset , it ’s in the company ’s fresh Magic 6 Pro phone . CalledAssistive eye - gaze control , it will expand presentment streamer and launch apps when it find that you ’re looking at them for longer than normal . Since it ’ll be a while before everyone can yield a Vision Pro , we would n’t mind heart - trailing on theiPhone 16 .
Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop
Some 24-hour interval we ’ll be jade a Vision Pro that ’s as thin and clear as a dyad of glasses . Some twenty-four hour period we ’ll be using iPhones and iPads that are little more than tenuous tabloid of glass . Lenovo want that time to come to be now . The company unveiled its17.3 - inch Micro - LED transparent displayat MWC , with “ a completely borderless and see - through display experience . ” It ’s one of the coolest thing we ’ve ever seen — and we ’re sure hoping Apple has something like deep in its research laboratory .
